10、 of her and his baby sister so I could go to my job. Please excuse Mikey and he“ll do his best in the future. P.S. His grandmother is OK.“ I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk.

He entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I“d like you to see me in my office.“ My heart sank. When I stepped

15、 into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great.
