The First Day of School (Extended Version) 300

The First Day of School (Extended Version) 

Haemin woke up early this morning.
Her heart was beating fast.
"I'm finally a first grader!" she said.
She got out of bed and ran to the window.
The sun was shining, and the sky was blue.

She put on her new bag and shiny sneakers.
Her shoulders felt proud and strong.
"Today is my big day!" she said.

Mom came in and smiled.
"Haemin, did you put on your name tag?"
"Yes! Here it is~" Haemin smiled back.
She also picked up her pencil case and lunch box.

They got into the car and drove to school.
On the way, Haemin looked out the window.
She saw children walking with their moms and dads.

When they got to the school, many kids were standing outside.
Some were laughing, some were crying.
Haemin held her lips tight and looked around.

Then, one girl came up to her.
"Are you in first grade too? I'm Sua!"
"Yes, I'm Haemin!" she answered with a small smile.

They walked into the school gate together.
Haemin felt a little shy but also happy.

The hallway was full of colors and pictures.
In the classroom, colorful balloons hung up on the wall.
There were name cards on every desk.

The teacher stood up and waved to them.
"Welcome, everyone!" she said.
"From today, we are all cool first graders!"

Haemin sat down next to Sua.
They became desk mates.
In the first class, they wrote down each other’s names.
"Your name is so pretty," Sua said.
"Thanks! Yours too!" said Haemin.

Then they took out their crayons and drew flowers.

Haemin looked around the room.
Everyone was busy and smiling.

'Maybe school is more fun than I thought!'
Haemin said to herself.

And today, going to school started to feel a bit exciting.
She couldn't wait to come back tomorrow.
