Reading Marathon

On Friday May 6th, as part of Beach Day (stay tuned to another post about Beach Day), we had a Reading Marathon.





 Often when you travel to beach locations there is local food and flavor to enjoy. We listened to Carribean-Jazz music and imagined we were enjoying the beach in the Carribean, so we enjoyed a treat of chips and salsa to add to the experience.


















 Students read for ten minutes. Then students work in their Reading Marathon Map for ten minutes. Then our learning repeats. All day long.

We know that the last few weeks of school can be a challenge in motivation and energy to learn. The warmer temperatures, sunshine, and freedom of a more relaxed schedule just around the corner begins to call ... so we have this learning extravaganzas with the purpose to engage student imagination and interest and keep our learning energy and motivation at it max intensity. Learning at the beach!
