Preston was a mouse who wanted to run the New York City marathon but no one thought he could do it. We googled the NYC marathon so we could see how challenging it would be for a mouse.
Would you like to be a mouse running amid a sea of sneakers?
He worked hard, practiced, and got stronger as a runner. He finally completed his marathon!
We run laps in gym, and we wondered how many laps in the gym was a mile so we could figure out how many laps a marathon would be.
After talking to our gym teachers, we found out it takes 14 laps to make a mile in the gym...if a marathon is 26.2 miles, that means we would have to run almost 367 gym laps!!!
Room 408 talked about how we can build our reading stamina just like Preston built his running stamina. We set goals for ourselves and stacked our books on one side of our folder, and as we finished a book we placed it on the other side and became marathon readers!
We read for almost 30 minutes straight!
Happy reading!
