So, I was wondering how long I should wait before conferring with students or pulling strategy groups? I am just itching to get started with this, but I don’t want to sabotage the stamina building. Also, I am in day 7 and have not yet introduced choice. My class has made it to 17 minutes of stamina but it is not consistent sadly. They will make it to 17 minutes and then only 5, then back to 17. I am thinking I should wait until they are consistently at around 15? What are your thoughts?
When to Start Conferring/Pulling Groups
I teach fifth grade. We are on day 9, and I have not begun pulling groups or conferring. I am still completing running records, however. I also will not introduce choice until about day 15-17.
