Wisdom Tales

This is a picture of John and me presenting our project that we did for Language Arts class. The project was based on these short stories from a book called Wisdom Tales. My partner John and I decided to make a Scratch project. The wisdom tale we chose was The Wooden Bowl. This story is about a old man who moves onto his sons farm the old man was a hard worker and helped as much as he could around the farm. However, soon his back started to hurt and he was becoming weaker and weaker. One day the old man, his son and his son’s wife were eating dinner and the old man dropped his bowl so the wife went to the barn and got a wooden bowl so he could not break it. One day the wife and husband saw the kid in the barn and asked what are you doing and the kid said that he is making a wooden bowl for when they grow up. From that day on they treated the old man much better. The moral of the story was that you should treat others how you want to be treated.

Baseball

 

Baseball is one of my favorite sports. I enjoy baseball because of all of the decisions you have to make while you are playing. For example, if there is a runner on first and you are the second baseman there is 1 out and a fast grounder is hit to you, should you throw it to second or first? The answer is second because that is the lead runner. Another example of when you have to make big decisions is when you are pitching because your job as a pitcher is to get the batter confused so you have to decide what pitch to throw and where to throw it in the strike zone. That is why baseball is my favorite sport.

What is my favorite baseball team? My all time favorite team is the Phillies. I like the Phillies because both of my parents were born in New Jersey so they are both Philadelphia fans and now I am too. Another reason I like the Phillies is because of there mascot, there mascots name is the Philly fanatic. I like the Philly fanatic because he is really funny and shoots hot dogs at the fans. These are the reasons I like the Phillies
