اِسْمِي سَارَةُ، وَعُمْرِي سِتُّ سَنَوَاتٍ. أُحِبُّ مَدْرَسَتِي كَثِيرًا.

My name is Sara, and I am six years old. I love my school very much.

فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، أَحْمِلُ حَقِيبَتِي وَأَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ بِفَرَحٍ.

Every morning, I carry my schoolbag and happily go to school.

عِنْدَمَا أَدْخُلُ الْفَصْلَ، أُحَيِّي مُعَلِّمَتِي نُورَ وَأَصْدِقَائِي.

When I enter the classroom, I greet my teacher Nour and my friends.

نَتَعَلَّمُ الْحُرُوفَ وَالْأَرْقَامَ، وَنَقْرَأُ قِصَصًا جَمِيلَةً.

We learn letters and numbers, and we read lovely stories.

الْيَوْمَ، سَأَلَتْنِي الْمُعَلِّمَةُ: «كَمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ زَائِدُ اثْنَيْنِ؟»

Today, the teacher asked me, “What is three plus two?”

رَفَعْتُ يَدِي وَقُلْتُ بِثِقَةٍ: «خَمْسَةٌ!» فَابْتَسَمَتْ مُعَلِّمَتِي وَقَالَتْ: «أَحْسَنْتِ يَا سَارَةُ!»

I raised my hand and confidently said, “Five!” My teacher smiled and said, “Well done, Sara!”

فِي وَقْتِ الِاسْتِرَاحَةِ، أَكَلْتُ تُفَّاحَةً لَذِيذَةً، ثُمَّ لَعِبْتُ مَعَ صَدِيقَاتِي فِي سَاحَةِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ.

At break time, I ate a delicious apple, then played with my friends in the school playground.

وَعِنْدَ نِهَايَةِ الْيَوْمِ، عُدْتُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ سَعِيدَةً، وَأَخْبَرْتُ أُمِّي بِمَا تَعَلَّمْتُهُ.

At the end of the day, I returned home happy and told my mother what I had learned.
