This year SD Cibeureum has seven new students for grade one, three girls and four boys. They are six and seven years old. Cibening village does not have a kindergarten, they go to elementary school directly without having an experience in Kindergarten.
Teaching first grade students is a little harder than teaching second grade students, because he/she has to introduce numbers and letters at the same time while the students want to play more. Learning to write and draw is a different challenge, students only depend on the lessons given by the school, parents only accompany them to do their homework at home because although the parents are not illiterate but basically they just Primary School graduates.
Before they go to SD Cibeureum, they used to join their brothers or sisters, reading story books at the school porch. For them, story books are interesting, many different stories make them happy, reading books and going to school to meet friends are the most interesting things for them.
