Chapter 3

Questions: Why do you think Mrs. Myers is unhappy with her new class?
                   How is the way Leslie is dressed on the first day of school different from the other students?

Vocabulary: radiator, cutoffs, corduroys, retreated, inheriting, roused, smirked, hoarsely, repulsive, quivered, drought, conspicuous, eliminations, sarcasm, deliberately, conceited, grudgingly

Enrichment: The students were quite concerned with fashion on the first day of school. Many advocates of school uniforms argue that this problem is eliminated when students wear school uniforms. Do you agree? Defend your position by writing a speech in your readind notebook. You will have a debate with another student who has an opposing view.

  1. i think Mrs.myers is unhappy with her class because leslie burke just moved so she had to go to school late, and then her class would have 31 people and she said "no one else has more than 29 people" and so she thinks Leslie burke should be in another class because then the other class would have 30 and she would still have 30 - Jack

  8. I think that Ms.Myers is unhappy with her class because there is too many children there.There are thirty-one children in her class and they might be annoying.Leslie`s clothes were different because she was wearing church clothes.Everyone else wore t-shirts or just jeans.Her parents wanted her to look pretty on the first day of school.:0 love the book ~ ALIYA GILL

  13. I think Mrs.Myers is unhappy with her class becase it was overstocked with children. I also think that all the kids were looking at Leslie becuse she was not dressed good like the other children that were wearing uniforms.[:
