School Daze: Sixth Grade
| July 26, 2022I can’t wait to see Mrs. Taub’s reaction when I get everything right. (At least, I hope!)

hen Mrs. Taub called my name for attendance and asked if I did my homework, she started to mark an X in her attendance book like always. But I said yes.
Mrs. Taub looked up and smiled at me as she made a check next to my name. Since our meeting last week about my report card, I’ve paid attention in every single class and done all my homework. It’s only been a few days, but already, teachers are starting to notice. They don’t really say anything, but when I hand in my homework, or raise my hand to answer a question, their eyebrows go up.
Mrs. Taub is giving us a Chumash test on Wednesday, and I already started studying. I’m going to study every day until the test. I can’t wait to see Mrs. Taub’s reaction when I get everything right. (At least, I hope!)

Who would guess that the girl who was making every teacher miserable had such talent!
I feel bad for Rivky. She doesn’t have social skills — so she doesn’t have friends
Mrs. Taub looked at me. “I think I’ve gotten to know you this year. I think you can do better than this — much better"
She really believed me when I said I wouldn’t talk anymore. Since when do teachers believe you when you say that?
