For First Time Students and Their Parents

"Its back to school time in central Arkansas. Wednesday morning thousands of students will be heading back to class. And for a new crop of kids it's their very first day and it can be a bit scary.

When you started school, maybe there were a words of wisdom you wish you heard from others whose footsteps you'd follow in. FOX16 caught up with some grade school students who gave us the top 10 things a kindergartner should know for the first day of school.

Number ten:
"Keep your grades up and study a lot," says Abby.

Number nine:
"Smile it's gonna be a good day," says Caitlyn.

Number eight:
"Recess is fun because I love the monkey bars," says Emi.

Number seven"
"Be brave and make new friends," says Peyton.

Number six:
"Be yourself and sit next to a smart kid," says Kelsi.

Number five:
"What should a kindergartner not do on their first day of school? Shove crayons up their nose," says Katelyn.

Number four:
"Find out what your teacher likes to eat and bring them a lot of that," says Micha.

Number three:
"Wipe down the wipeboards and be helpful," says Katelyn.

Number two:
"Listen to your teacher so you don't get in trouble," says Tommy.

And the number one thing a kindergartner should know for their first day of school:
"Don't sniff the glue, and don't eat it either," says Mackenzie and Ashton.

Don't be nervous, it's everyone's first day, so do your best to make some friends, and when the time comes, study."
