There was classroom time for the younger children to take naps. This varied somewhat depending on the program. Many system had half day, AM or PM prgrams. Here we do not see nap time, but all-day programs did have nap time as well as outside play time. A full day is a longtime for kindegarners. We did our nt time at our desks. We note kindergarners toay natbtime slleping mats and blankets. We are not sure just when that was introduced. I remember that in the late-1940s. It happened in Kindegarten and I think First Grade. Here we see nap time in the 1950s (figure 1). Basically nap time shifted to recess. I am not sure about the 2nd grade. I think nap time basically shited to recess. Nor are we aware to the extent this has changed over time. Hopefully some HBC readers will have more information. We do motice modern schools cutting back on recesses. We are not sure wht the modern trends on nap time are.
