My First Day of School

My first day of first grade was not what I expected it to be. I was penalized because I love to read. My teacher, Miss Caroline realized I was literate and yelled at me. I always thought being able to read was a gift and I was always proud of it. The minute i got home from school, I took the newspaper off of Atticus's chair and started reading it. I thought about what my teacher said and then asked Atticus if it was a bad thing to be able to read. i told him i didn't want to go to school anymore. Reading is what I love to do and I don’t want to go to school if I wont be allowed to read. He promised we would read together every night if I went to school.
