MY TEACHER IS A MONSTER SUMMARY
Robert seemed to always be in trouble. His teacher stomped, roared, and yelled- she was quite a monster! Robert always tried to stay clear of her, taking time outside of school to walk in the park.
That is, until one day, he found his teacher there! Should he sit down? Should he raise his hand? It was terribly uncomfortable! Suddenly, a gust of wind took his teacher’s hat away! He ran after it, caught it, and returned it to his teacher. She was so grateful! They then went on a walk together and flew paper airplanes. By the end of the story, Robert realized that his teacher is not a monster after all.
