But Mrs. Derkman would!

Oh, no! Katie had turned into her teacher!

Katie gulped. She didn’t know anything about being a teacher. She didn’t even know what book the kids had on their desks. She’d been in the hall when Mrs. Derkman had started the lesson.

But there was one person who knew how to be Mrs. Derkman. And he did it perfectly. Katie thought back to yesterday, when George had imitated Mrs. Derkman. She tried to do what he had done. She wrinkled her brow, and scrunched up her mouth. She looked down through Mrs. Derkman’s half-glasses.

“Mrs. Derkman, do you have a toothache?” Miriam Chan asked her.

Katie sighed. Obviously, she didn’t look as much like Mrs. Derkman as she’d thought. She was never going to be able to teach her friends anything.

But she had to do something with the class. Otherwise, they were sure to figure out that she wasn’t really their teacher. Katie thought for a moment. Then she came up with a plan.

“Class, I’ve changed my mind,” Katie said finally. “We’re going to start the day with free reading. Everyone, take out your books.”

The kids all looked at one another. They never started the day with free reading.

“What are you waiting for?” Katie scolded them, trying to sound like Mrs. Derkman. “Take out your books.”

The kids did as they were told. As they began to read, Katie sat down at Mrs. Derkman’s desk. The blue notebook Mrs. Derkman always carried was sitting right there. Maybe there was some clue in there about what Mrs. Derkman had wanted to teach today.

Katie opened the notebook. On the first page was a list of the kids in class 3A. Next to each of the names was a row of letters. She looked at the first one.
