Michael Phelps is an GOLD medalist in the olympics! Can you imagine how hard he worked to reach to get a gold medal!? Guess what? He has way more than just ONE GOLD MEDAL! He is a champion goal setter and reaches high acheivements. I'll bet he has LOTS of stamina. What do you think?
We have been setting goals as readers and learning how to reach stamina for a few weeks now. How do you feel about your reading stamina? You have also sat with Mrs. Byrd and made small personal written goals about your reading. Have you tried to work towards reaching those? Would you be a gold medalist? Are you working at a LEVEL 4 effort when you're reading?
We have not only learned about stamina, but how to ask DEEP questions! Those thick ones we cannot answer right away, we have learned to always ask Before, during and after questions. We have learned to STOP.THINK.& JOT and put all of our reading brains in our readers response journals. We have learned how to find hidden meanings of words and how to break words up in multi-syllables, we even have talked all about root words and peices of words to help find meaning.
We have met GREAT goals as a class. What do you think you have done the best? What will you remember most about setting goals and reaching them? Will you be the MICHAEL PHELPS of the DAILY 5?? Lets WIN gold medals in reading!
