This week we have been discussing our stamina and how we need to practice our reading to be able to have the stamina to read 30-40 minutes at a time. We discuss how a runner can not just go out one day and run a marathon, they first have to practice and prepare for the marathon. This week we have dedicated to practice our stamina for Read to Self. I have learned that the stamina of a third grader is far stronger than a first grader! I have literally had students begging me to read during different parts of the day. This is a good thing, but it is quite different than what I am used to. I love that the students know their interests and the genres they want to read. We made it to 7 yesterday and 15 today. They were amazing and most of them could have continued to read for much longer.

I am loving getting to know all of the new faces and loving being with all that I have had before! We are having a lengthy morning meeting each morning this week to get to know one another and learn classroom expectations. This day we tossed a ball back and forth asking about one another and their favorites.
Have a great weekend!
