Last week, Ms. Stoklosa's first graders worked hard on building their reading stamina! The challenge was to stay focused and read for a full three minutes without getting distracted—and guess what? 88% of us nailed it!
Next week, we’re aiming even higher, trying to read for longer.
Our ultimate goal? Ten minutes (and beyond!) of focused reading for 100% of our class. Keep cheering us on! 💪📖
