We are doing Daily 5 for the first time this year so we are really working on our STAMINA in all we do! Because there are so many of us, we started by working on our stamina on the Learning Rug. I have a very verbal groups this year who are experts in sharing...we are just needing to work on sharing about learning at the appropriate time! :)
After talking and writing about Our Learning Rug promises, we learned a song about stamina!
Later that day, we had a visit from the Stamina Critters.
Here is the poem they sent us. :)
When the Stamina Critters arrived, they quietly started talking to me. I would hold one up to my ear and they would tell me about how they would be watching for children keeping their stamina. They would really be watching for kiddos working quietly. As I noticed kiddos staying on task and working quietly, they would get to go and add a Stamina Critter to the jar. Sometimes I hear Stamina Critters calling out student names that they spy keeping their stamina. The kiddos swear they hear the Stamina Critters talking too....This is when I pray that I am not warping my kiddos too severely! :)
They are so stinkin' cute when they carefully take a Stamina Critter out of the basket and place them in the jar. They are always sure to place them in there so their eyes are watching us.
This has really helped my kiddos. They love to see how many of them can keep their stamina at different times during the day. I have even carried a Stamina Critter when we go down the hallway. Of course, it talks to me while we walk. We have been able to add 22 Critters before when everyone did Read to Self for 20 minutes with no call backs! :)
I hope to build my stamina back so I can blog more, I have really missed my sweet bloggy friends. :)

Well look how cute those stamina critters are!!! Building stamina can be tricky business...especially when you have a few that just aren't as strong as others. Your kiddos will get there...slow but sure! Once they reach first grade, they are able to build {and rebuild from Kindy} their stamina quickly. There's light at the end of the tunnel...and you'll be so happy that you put all this effort in early on. Your kiddos are well on their way to sustaining independent QUIET work time!!!!!
Hugs,

you might get an opportunity to enter into a discussion with the pharmacist about the kind of illness, which medicines might be most suitable, and he/she might even be able to recommend a better doctor than you had visited so far. Similar examples could be sought for in scenarios where you visit your local grocery store, your simple local fruit vendor, your electrician and plumber, and also the sleepy person sitting behind the counter at the local cinema

resurge Prescription weight reduction tablets are not the correct - I could say they're a long way from it and typically due to side effects and unnatural chemical substances applied. The equal Xenical gives you a bunch of "additional blessings" like oily spotting, oily stool, possible nausea, diarrhea and more.
These capsules are made from all-natural ingredients, including tongkat ali, a powerful herb used to promote the production of natural testosterone. This herb works to ensure that testosterone is used properly. It also boosts libido and improves brain function. The product is made for men, and it is unlikely to cause adverse side effects in women. Using this pill does not pose a risk of triggering unwanted side effects for women.

Hi,
This is really a nice blog by you. I really appreciate your efforts for this blog. Keep it up and keep posting such blogs.
The reason behind many students getting low grades is that their parents are unable to review their child's performance due to their busy schedule. Due to this many prefer to take online tuition for class 5, 6, 7 etc. for their child so that they can review their child’s performance. For this they look for Best Online Tuition Classes to support their child in their academics.
