I should rush through my work so that our class can have indoor recess when everyone in our room is finished, right?
What is NO WAY, JOSE! We will be sitting and reading until everyone in the entire school is finished testing, just as we did for the writing test. It is likely to be all the way until it is time to pack up and go home, just like it was for the writing test. If by some small chance everyone in the school finishes before it is time to get ready to go home, we will be learning and resuming a normal school day, not doing fun activities. There is NO POINT in rushing through your work.
