Building Our Stamina!

Yesterday we started the first part of our literacy program (Daily 5).  The first phase of this structure is how to read independently.  We call this read to self in our classroom.  Each day we work on our reading stamina (or building our reading muscle as another child puts it), so we are able to become better readers.  Today we got up to 3 minutes, that is quite good for the first week of school!
