Let’s read the story carefully to find what Amiyah liked about her first day of school.
The story says:
- “Many of her friends from last year were in her class.” → So she was happy to see old friends.
- “Her teacher, Mr. Winkler, was funny.” → She liked that he made her laugh or feel good.
- “The students’ desks were arranged in a circle around the room, instead of in rows.” → This is different and probably fun for her.
- “When Mr. Winkler was teaching, he stood in the center of the circle, turning from time to time, to face different students as he talked. Instead of being in school, it was like they were watching a play.” → She enjoyed how the lesson felt like a show — exciting and not boring.
We need to pick
three things Amiyah likes. Let’s choose the clearest ones from the text:
1. Her friends from last year were in her class.
2. Her teacher, Mr. Winkler, was funny.
3. The way the class felt like watching a play (because of the circle seating and how the teacher moved).
These are all directly mentioned and show what she enjoyed.
Final Answer:
1. Many of her friends from last year were in her class.
2. Her teacher, Mr. Winkler, was funny.
3. It felt like they were watching a play because of how the teacher taught in the circle.
