Slow and steady wins the race! We watched a performance of the Tortoise and the Hare by The Story Time Theater today. Both tortoise and hare had their own way of training for the big race. We learned that hard work and the right attitude pay off in the end. Thank you to North Central Texas College for letting us use The Little Theater!
