FABLES

Most of us know the famous fable about the FAST hare and the SLOW tortoise. Well, the hare 'knew' he would win the race because he is SO fast! He thought it was SO fast that he took a nap half way through the race! The slow, and steady tortoise kept racing and the hare woke up just in time to see the slow tortoise WIN the race!
MORAL: SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
In real life we can learn from this lesson! Don't try to do things too fast, you will do a better job if you are slow and take your time.
Grade TWO and Grade THREE classes teamed up to create a SHARED WRITING EXPERIENCE. TOGETHER, the students create FABLES of their own! Please read below! Please email Ms. Meyer any feedback, comments or questions about any of the fables and I will pass them along to the students.
THANK YOU ... Your Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear 2nd and 3rd Graders,

    Great job! I imagine creating your own fables based on this famous fable was a lot of fun. I see that you were all able to draw your own interpretation of the fable's moral.

    Of course I read Lora's fable with special interest and she helped explain it to me in more detail, but I see that all children at RIS have vivid imaginations!

    Great job! Hope to read more stories and fables in the future.

    Lora's Father
