Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra visited one of my classes today as part of the Big Cheese Reads program. This is a program sponsored by Boston Partners in Education and links business and community leaders with middle school students by coming into the schools and reading to them and talking to them about literacy and career success.
I didn't realize Lockhart was such an avid reader and he impressed me with his knowledge of literature. He says literature is much like the symphony, in that, when words are put together in certain ways it is like music to his ears.
I would like to hear what some of you have to say about his visit today.
Our class (202, 6th grade) had a great reader too. Mr, Antonelli from State Street Bank had lots of advice to give about reading, getting a college education, and and the benefits of having a career where you get to manage people, help people, and travel around the world. The students were so impressed and asked good questions.
