Miss Hines left the room. She was not gone for long. She looked at the board when she
came back. It was not the same. Who had erased the lesson? Miss Hines looked at her
students. Baylee was reading a book. Damon was putting two pencils up his nose. Tia’s
head was on her desk. Jake was drawing a dragon. The others sat very still. No one
would tell Miss Hines who had erased the board. She had a plan. “Who wants to go to
recess?” she asked. All the kids raised their hands. Tia’s hand had white powder on it.
Damon’s hand was dirty. Jake had pencil smudges on the side of his hand. Miss Hines
knew which one had erased her board.
