[LM_NET] Target: ELEM, Authentic reading activites

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Colleagues, I can't resist--although I do understand that this was a Target 
and I should not be answering to the whole group.

While I LOVE Patty's principal for noticing that students are doing too 
much fill in the blank time wasting during literacy block, I wonder whether 
one Authentic Reading Activity kids could be encouraged to do is, ummm, 
READ.  Better yet, visit the LMC, choose a book or article or website, and 
READ!!

Is that maybe too radical, though?  LOL!

Best,
Toni
