orry HITS First graders shouldn't have to worry about anything. A popular idea but not altogether accurate when it came to first graders at P.A. Although these worries ranged from world crises to report cards, most were narrowed down to the small sphere of their families. Virginia Ann Oliver. along with the rest of her class expressed a worry for parents. My dad has to go to work real early, and I worry about him when there's ice. Another major worry for the first Decisions, decisions. Tommy Reet can't decide whether to start on his reader or his speller. This was just another of the daily worries that he faced. L-me s Q 'i A graders was report cards and other school related things. I worry about my report card because I don't know if l'll get a good or bad grade, said another student. Toby Watkins was worried the first day of school. I didn't know what it was going to be like, if everybody would like me. Some world conscious first graders were even troubled about world crises, such as oil shortages and wars. Although he probably lost little sleep over it, Toby expressed alarm about any kind of war. I wouldn't want to be a soldier, he said. Some like Doug Voss, weren't affected by what they heard about the wars on T.V. When Israel was at war, I didn't worry because it was far far away, he said. Never let it be said that first graders didn't have a care in the world. Their cares ranged from little crises, like falling down and scratching their knees, to world crises, such as oil shortages and wars.

There never seems to be enough of it. commented some kindergarteners. Most kindergarteners liked to play. But play what? l like to play with my little brother. Christa Cordon said. And Katherine James said she like to play with her sister. The more daring kind. like Eric Gribble used their spare time to sharpen their skills on the bicycle. l like to ride my bike real fast sometimes. he said. Saturday morning was an occasion when spare time was in abundance. Most kindergarteners were watching their favorite cartoons. If Papa Smurf wasn't ' I m Sole found scampering across the TV screen you could bet that Pac-Man was. With the new age of computers and video games at their fingertips. most kids had the opportunity to bring their favorite arcade video games home. Lindsey Lay said. l love to play Atari. I have most of the best cartridges. Even though they were at the age when school was supposed to be fun. most kindergartners said they would rather be at home making good use oftheir spare time. It feels so good.
