It's school time again！You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad for the vacation is over.Some kids feel nervous on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers，new friends，and maybe even a new school.Luckily，these “new” worries only stick around for a little while.Let's find out more about going back to school.
Most teachers kick off the school term by introducing themselves and talking about what 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 class on the first day.But it's a great day to make new friends，so try to say “hello” to the kids you know and new ones that you don't.Make the first move and you'll be glad about what you did and so will your new friends!
Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day，but by the second or third morning，they'll have mapped out a seating plan.It's a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook so you don't forget.
Here are a few final tips for a fantastic first day: Get enough sleep.Have a healthy breakfast.Try your best.Develop good work habits，like writing down your assignments (作业)and handing in your homework on time.Take your time with schoolwork.If you don't understand something，ask the teacher.
