Question
Yubi’s mom was a kindergarten teacher at her school. Yubi was in fourth grade, but she still used her mom’s classroom as a kind of home base. Most of all, she just liked being the biggest kid there.
Whenever Yubi visited her mom’s classroom, the kindergarteners got excited and started whispering. “It’s Ms. Lee’s daughter!” they said. Yubi felt like a movie star.
One morning Yubi was about to leave her mom’s classroom to head to the fourth-grade hall. Just then, the principal, Mrs. Hendricks, stopped in and asked Yubi’s mom to talk in the hallway.
“Watch the kids, Yubi,” Mom whispered.
She walked around the tables in the classroom and tried to look stern. The kindergarteners just smiled and looked up at her as if she were the queen. Yubi felt very uncomfortable. When would Mom come back?
The bell rang—now Yubi would be late for class. She intensified her stern look because deep inside she worried about getting in trouble.
Finally, her mom returned. “I’m sorry, Yubi,” she said. “But Mrs. Hendricks has written a note for your teacher explaining how you were helping her with important school business.”
The kindergarteners gasped. Important school business! Yubi took the note and strutted out the door. She felt ten feet tall.
How is the setting of the story related to its events?
The kindergarten classroom is where Yubi nervously watches the class.
The kindergarten classroom is where Yubi normally spends her time at school.
The fourth-grade classroom is where Yubi’s mom works at the school.
The principal is mad at Yubi for being in the kindergarten classroom instead of in the fourth-grade hall.
