First Day of School

ME: It's school time again!

C: I know. But there aren't a lot of kids I know in my new class.

ME: You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over too. Lot sof kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and some kids are even in a new school.

Advice for The First Day
Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.

When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Pay close attention so you'll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.

You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day. But it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you'll be glad you did and so will your new friend!
