Today, we read chapters one through two, of the book "The Skin I'm In." by Sharon G. Flake. Chapter one spoke of a girl named Maleeka's struggles that she goes through every day. Everyday Maleeka is taunted by the other kids in her class. They make fun of her homemade clothes and dark skin.
What they don't know is that Maleeka is very intelligent in math and can outsmart 9th graders and she has the memory of an elephant. And then a new teacher named Miss Saunders comes to Maleeka's school. She is very unusual with a white splotched face and odd looking body. She protects Maleeka since people give her a hard time, and since Miss Saunders must have gone through this since she looks odd and it must have been rough for her so she wants to help Maleeka out.
