Nothing new for me...still at 3.
Since I was a kindergarten teacher for 5 years...I just had to google to find out when Sesame Street premiered...which was back in Nov. 1969.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sesame_StreetI was in teacher's college that year and started teaching KG in Sep. 1970. But I don't think I saw it for the years I was teaching cause I was living in a country town and didn't have cable...just antennas...so it was either not on the channels we got...or cause I was teaching it was on when I was teaching. Back in those days, we had a TV in the school, but it had to be shared between the classes, so we had to book it and roll it from room to room. And of course, in those times, watching TV programs in school was kind of frowned upon. And since I never had kids, I've never watched much Sesame Street over the years as I was always working...so most of these characters are total unknowns to me. I'm only familiar with the originals...Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Kermit & Miss Piggy. So most of my Bingo choices were the familiar ones...or chosen cause the names were so totally weird
