Fars News Agency – Department of Education: The heart was not in his heart. The excitement of tomorrow’s program had increased his desire to go to school so much that he wanted the night to pass as soon as possible and to arrive tomorrow morning. He had arranged his textbooks and notebooks next to him, and a pack of colored paper, glue, scissors, and some food had replaced the textbooks.

He was so eager to go to school that he woke up and was ready to go to school. The same boy who until yesterday had to be dragged out of bed with difficulty and brought to school with reluctance.

The fact that he is not going to carry that heavy bag full of books and notebooks with him today, he was very happy, not to mention that there is no news of lessons, exercises and exams. This could be read from the smiling faces of each school child. How happy they were today.

*** A happy day

The children are so excited and laughing in the school yard that the parents who accompanied them to school are also ecstatic; Children are divided into groups in the classroom and each group is supposed to do special things.

Amir Ali’s group is going to make date balls and this is the first experience of making sweets for them in the classroom. Amir Ali’s mother prepared all the necessary materials and put them in her child’s bag.

The mother, enjoying her child’s enthusiasm, says: Today was supposed to be the day without a bag, but they couldn’t bring the bag to school. Because they had to bring today’s equipment. We went and bought biscuits yesterday, but other mothers took the rest of the sweets.

Amir Ali’s mother, who is a housewife and has another small child who is 3 years old, continues: Today my son is very happy. I wish they behaved in school in such a way that children are happy like today and come to school with enthusiasm.

*** The joy of crafting

Another group is going to make handicrafts. They are going to make glasses out of paper. Besides, they are going to study about useful waste and draw pictures of them. The children have taken out the colored paper and are trying to listen carefully to the words of the teacher to prepare a beautiful craft. Another group is going to make a street full of cars and their craft is supposed to be colored cars.

Arad’s mother says: Children’s homework and programs are selected from the activities of Roshd magazines. My son is in the third grade. His teacher has divided the class into groups and each group is supposed to do an activity.

He continues: Today the children are very happy and this is more important than anything else. Why should primary school children have exams every day? Why do they have to carry all their school books with them to school every day? It is as if they were released today and they are all really happy.
