Learning the Expectations

We are wrapping up our first week at school, and I'm so excited for my class.  They have been doing a wonderful job learning the routines and expectations. Building stamina in our reading and writing lives is one of the first things we work on.  We compared how a marathon runner trains by increasing the amount they run over an extended period of time and how that relates to them as building stamina during readers' and writers' workshop.  Take a look at the photos below of my students building their reading stamina.  I was so impressed with each and every one of them.
