After a long, and stressful first half of the week of working on our note cards, our class was blessed to have a nice and easy class. We started off class by answering a question that was posted on the classroom page, why is important to read aloud to children? I answered the question saying that we read aloud to children because they get more information out of actually hearing the words, as opposed to reading and see them. After this, Mr. Rivers explained to us that it was national read aloud day. He then told us that he was going to read aloud to us for the class. Our class was very happy to hear the excellent news. He began to read a text from the book written by some guy from the office, called the Tortoise and the hare. It was about how a hare lost in a race against a tortoise. He was humiliated, and it ruined his career. A while after there were talks of a rematch, and then it became official. The hare began to train harder than ever before, while the tortoise did the same as he did before, which was minimal work. The day of the rematch came, and the heir smoked the tortoise, breaking his personal record and the world record. The moral of this story was that slow and steady wins the race, until truth and talent takes it’s place. This was a very relaxing class that I had enjoyed very much.
