  1. This is frustrating to Maria because she loves her name and its important to her. Maria’s name is so important to her because she was named after her grandmas. Also its Maria’s name it’s her label it must of felt horrible her teacher can’t change it!

  2. It is frustrating for Maria because that is her name no one should be able to change it. Plus she is named after her Grandma and that is special. Names are important and I understand if she is frustrated.

  3. My Name is Maria Isabel




    Maria is frustrated because when she arrives at her new school they change her name. And she is mad because that is her name and she
    loves it .So Maria does not like it and her name is so important. The reason her name is so important to her because she got that name she does not want a name that`s not her`s.And her name is named after
    her Grandmothers

  4. Maria Isabel is probably frustrated because she has her own name and she wouldn’t want to be called maybee someone else's name. Also why can’t the other girl named Maria be called Mary and names are very very important.

    1. I love your thinking it totally states why Maria would be frustrated by her teacher changing her name. Also that could be someone else's name your so right!

    2. I agree who cares if there's three Marias. Its better than changing a name!
