Introduction

So you're doing your work and someone comes over and says something like, "You're not doing it right." So here's a tip: Go ask teacher how to do it. But I hope you all know that. Or maybe you're sitting all alone and someone comes over and asks if you want to play. That is kind of what my book is about. Love, Maren

So I was siting at a table doing my work,

and Jane and two boys came over and started to laugh and I don't know why. Maybe it was some funny story about me. Or maybe it was some funny joke because they love to joke people around.

Then the rest of the class came over and started laughing too.

Please go away, I need to do my work! I said.

Then the teacher claps her hands, and says everyone to the meeting table and I go tell the teacher I don't know what that is.

Jane raised her hand, and the teacher pointed at her and she said she needed to go to the bathroom.

How many of you need to go to the bathroom? asks the teacher.

Me I do! cried Anne, me I do! cried Mia me I do cried Emma. Okay, let's go to the bathroom, said the teacher.

Look at the wrapping paper, said the teacher.Let's go to the classroom, said the teacher.
