After recalling his prediction from the last session, Atticus picked up the story when Melody’s mother entered her classroom. Although this prediction was correct, Atticus was concerned about how angry Melody’s mother was when she learned the reason for her meltdown. The outcome, a teacher change, was undoubtedly positive, and we are hopeful that the new teacher will approach the students more informedly. The next chapter introduced a new puppy for Melody and the pending arrival of a baby brother or sister. Atticus made some predictions about this sibling's effect on Melody’s life.
