MY FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL I still remember the first day in school. It’s a usual tradition that kids cry a lot on getting separated from their parents. But my class was a bit different. I really don’t remember anyone of us crying because there was a little slide in the corner of our class. So on entering the classroom, instead of crying we all got busy with taking turns on the slide. Those were some careless days, no worries. Learning alphabets was no big deal. Although the best part was shouting our lungs out while telling the poetry rhymes, the volumes all tuned up so that we could offend the teacher so much that for the rest of the day she would just leave us in peace. Personally my favorite time was always spent in little sand garden that we had opposite to our canteen. The garden had slides, merry-go-round and other play stuffs .Every day after school time was allotted to this garden. The funniest part was to push the person sitting in front of you from the slide. So that they would land head on straight into the sands . 1)Read the sentences and circle True or False. *Usually kids cry on their first day of school.
