It was a big day for Hermiston School District’s youngest students as kindergarteners and first graders spent a day in person with their teacher for the first time on Wednesday,
âI want to come back every single day,â first grader Fabian Aguilar said.
He and his brother Damian, also a first grader, were among the dozens of children greeted by a parent as they trickled out of Sunset Elementary School after a morning of learning inside. The afternoon shift of students would arrive about an hour later, after classrooms were sanitized.
Fabian said his favorite part of his first day was the math.
âYou have to draw something and tell your partner,â he said.
Damien said his favorite part was getting to dance for a few minutes. Both boys said they liked learning in person better than on the computer.
