Okay, they've done preschool, and they've just finished a year or more of kindergarten. Now it's time for the real learning to begin!
(FIRST) GRADER （１）年生
- A student in the first year of elementary school is called a first grader. We also can say second grader, third grader, etc.
Be Careful! In American English, it's more common to say, for example, fifth grader than “fifth-year student”. - 小学校の第１学年の生徒のことを first grader（１年生）と言います。順に second grader（２年生）、third grader（３年生）などと言います。
注意： アメリカ英語では、例えば、fifth-year student と言うより fifth grader（５年生）と言う方が一般的です。
- (a teacher at an elementary school)
The first graders are only in school for half a day today. - All the fifth graders are away on a class trip. They'll be back in school the day after tomorrow.
- Since my daughter became a sixth grader, she's had to do a lot more homework.
Enjoy the day!
