School Daze: Sixth Grade   

As told to Perel Stone

Monday, February 6

When 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!)
