Coby: Come on, Mark!
Play with us.
Daisy: Yeah, we're having fun.
Mark: No, thanks.
Jenna: What's wrong, Mark?
Coby: Is it about tug-of-war?
Coby: That was mean of Kara to get you in trouble.
Mark: No. It's not about that.
It's about something worse.
Mark: Much worse. I did something terrible.
Coby: What did you do?
Mark: I wrote a mean letter about Miss Gray.
Jenna: What?
Daisy: Mark! How could you do that?
Mark: I didn't mean it.
I was just mad about tug-of-war.
Mark: So I started writing and . . .
I made a big mistake!
Mark: I wish I could get my letter back!
Jenna: Maybe you can write a new letter.
Daisy: Yeah!
Coby: And ask Miss Gray to give back the old one.
Mark: I don't know.
She's probably really mad at me.
Jenna: It's still worth a try.
Mark: Excuse me? Miss Gray?
Miss Gray: Good morning, Mark.
You're early today.
Mark: I brought you something.
Mark: It's a new letter because my first letter—
Miss Gray: Went right in the trash.
You didn't mean it.
Mark: I wrote a new letter.
Mark: Dear Room Two Kids,
You're going to love second grade.
It's lots of fun.
Mark: And you will learn about stars . . . and plants . . . and manners.
John: And you will learn something else.
John: Miss Gray is the best teacher in the whole wide world!
