A NEW DAY AT SCHOOL
My mother accompanied me to school on the first day. Other parents accompanied their children as well. We all waited in front of the school office. Soon a teacher came and led us to some classrooms. There we were put into four separate classes. This was when some children began to cry as the parents were not allowed into the classrooms. I did not cry because I had been to Kindergarten before.
It was an enjoyable time for me as I got to know my new classmates. The teacher was very busy writing down our particulars so we had plenty of time to ourselves. Meantime some children continued to cry noisily while their parents looked in anxiously through the windows.
Soon recess came, some of us headed for the tuck- shop while therest headed for their parents. I bought a drink with the money my mother gave me. After recess we went back to our classroom and my new friends and I managed to coax two boys to stop crying. In fact, soon we werte laughing and playing together.
