Aris' First Day at School

Aris woke up with a bounce in her step. 'Today's the day, I just can't wait!' she said with a pep. She looked out the window, smiled, and sighed. 'First day of school. I'm ready to try!'

A cheerful young toddler with bright eyes and brown hair, looking out his bedroom window with a big smile, sun shining brightly in the morning sky.

He wore his favorite striped shirt with glee, grabbed his shiny blue backpack, and waved it like the sea. 'Goodbye, dear home, I’m off to learn and play. Hello, new friends! I can’t wait to start the day!'

At school, Ari met Bella, Sam, and Lee. Bella's braids bounced, as happy as can be. Lee had a lunchbox in the shape of a bee, and Sam showed his sneakers with a squeaky squeak.

Their teacher, Miss Joy, wore polka-dots galore. She clapped her hands and called, 'Welcome! Let's explore!' 'To the classroom, children, where adventures unfold. Let’s find new treasures more precious than gold!'

'Look at this pencil, so yellow and sleek,' said Aris to Sam, who gave a peek. 'I like these crayons, green, blue, and pink!' Bella and Lee started to think.

Kids playing happily in the school playground, some on swings and slides, others playing tag.

Back in the classroom, it was time for art. Aris drew her favorite cat, real smart. Bella painted flowers, Sam a shiny cart, while Lee drew a rocket ready to dart.

As the day ended, they sang a goodbye tune. 'We’ll see you tomorrow! Not a day too soon.' Aris waved and smiled at the moon. Ready for tomorrow, as the sun set soon.

A cheerful young toddler with bright eyes and brown hair, filled with curiosity and excitement at home, excitedly telling her parents about his day while they listen with joyful expressions.

Tucked into bed, Aris closed her eyes tight. Happy thoughts of school filled her night. 'Sweet dreams,' whispered the moon's soft light. 'Tomorrow brings more adventures bright.'
