For Next Week - October 19th
 * FInd one specific activity that helps to improve Writing or Reading Fluency. If you are going to be using one similar to the one read in class, be specific about its practical use in the classroom. (i.e. - If you are going to discuss a running record, tell the level, publisher, number of times used, etc. It may even be one that you have observed in your current classrooms. Post the idea on Thinkfinity. Be sure to be clear about whether it is Reading or Writing Fluency, and what aspect of fluency the activity addresses (i.e. speed, accuracy, legibility etc.). Read others suggestions. Comment with questions on the activity if needed.
