Students began streaming back to Hickam Elementary yesterday. Because we started so much earlier this school year, some haven't registered yet and might trickle in the next couple of weeks. Our enrollment is quite high already, and will probably continue to increase for a while.
Ahh, the first day of school. New supplies, new faces, and for many, a totally new school in a totally new state. Some of our students are veterans at being "the new kid in class", having already attended several different schools in their short educational careers. For our youngest, Hickam Elementary is their very first in what might become a long list of schools.
When asked, most children use words such as "excited", "scared", and "shy" to describe how they felt their first day at school. I wonder how many adults can remember how they felt their very first day, especially at a school they had never attended before.
Chime in: how did you feel on your first day at school? Or more specifically, how did you feel on your first day at Hickam Elementary?
