First Graders From Mars by Shana Corey


Science Fiction

Horus was beginning first grade and, initially, was excited about it. After going to school for the first day and learning what his class would be doing throughout the school day he was not as sure. They did not have nap time like when he was in Martiangarten and the teacher had them begin working on the first day of school. When his parents made him go back to school the next day, Horus discovered another student who did not want to be there. Horus told the girl that it wasn't so bad and began to realize that he may even like it himself if he'd give it another chance. This story would be a great introduction to the school year. Students come to class for the first few days with many apprehensions about their class. They have a new teacher, new classmates and new responsibilities. A light-hearted book such as this one could reassure students of their apprehensions and let them know others experience similar feelings when being a new school year, even first graders from Mars.
