#. Back-to-School Traditions

 

The first day of school is a special day.

So, different countries created special ways to celebrate it.

Here are three interesting back-to-school traditions.

 

@ Germany

On the first day of school, first graders get a gift from their family.

It is a special cone called Schultuten.

On the outside, it has pretty decorations.

On the inside, it is filled with candy, school supplies, and toys!

 

@ Russia

On September 1, teachers, students, and their families attend a special ceremony.

They listen to speeches and songs.

Teachers receive flowers.

Then, everyone waits to hear the first bell of the new school year.

 

@ Japan

First graders get a special backpack in Japan.

It is called randoseru.

Children will use this backpack for six years.

With it, they learn how to take care of their things.
