First day at school 1.B Welcome first graders In Croatia, there aren’t any opening ceremonies on the first day of school. All students, except for the first grad- ers, start with their regular classes. The first graders come to school with their parents and have a small gathering in their classroom with their teacher. They get to know each other and then take a walk around school to see where everything is. Teachers usually prepare some small gifts for the students, wishing them good luck in their first year and they take photos to have a reminder of that important step in their lives.
