Why does Sistine get so angry when introducing herself to the class, and what does she say out loud?

• The students were interrupting her while she was speaking, and told them to shut up.

Mrs. Soames, the homeroom teacher, tells Sistine to sit down before she “puts her foot in her mouth any farther”. What do you think this means?

• It means to say something foolish, or embarrassing.

• She teaches him how to make small forts.

• She teaches him how to build a bird house.

• She teaches him how to whittle, or carve, figures into pieces of wood.
