Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're supposed to do as far as the story... I hope this is enough setting.

It was the first day of kindergarten. Posters of cute animals and giant, colorful letters of the alphabet decorated the walls. As the parents brought in their children, the laughter of the children almost drowned out quiet sniffles of the parents. A small boy let go of his mom’s hand, and his brand new shoes squeaked across the floor as he found the desk with his name carefully printed on a tag. The kindly teacher smiled and waited for last hugs and goodbyes before she began her first lesson.
