The Weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge
Last week I came across a quote about writing that resonated me. I wanted to share it with you as you get ready to share your slice of life story today.
If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it. –Tennessee Williams
Please link the slice of life story you write today to this post by leaving a comment. Be sure to check out other bloggers’ writing by clicking through the links in the comment section of this post. Come back later today (or even tomorrow) to read through the links of a few other Slicers who link their blogs after you. Also, if you read someone else’s writing, please leave a comment on their blog.

Just a list of random thoughts… what were your random thoughts today?? Do you ever notice your thoughts? I think sometimes, I have really LOUD brain days or something!
Today must have been one of them.

Oh my goodness, I almost missed Tuesday. Slicing each day seems to be easier than once a week. What I lack is discipline!
Do we ever mean what we say in a two ela teacher family? I’m telling you the kids GET figurative language: http://meanderingmaya.blogspot.com/2012/05/early-literacy-experiences-in-two.html

March was a month of slices, April was a month of poetry, and now we are onto May…what’s to come?? http://teachingyoungwriters.blogspot.com/2012/05/and-here-comes-may.html
I have been away for a couple of weeks. First my computer was in the shop for nine days, then last week I had a huge presentation and just didn’t get a slice written. Back this week with a piece about me as a teacherwriter:

I had intended to write a post about The Book Whisperer but I decided to save that idea for now. Yesterday, I was asked if I thought it was a problem that students did their best writing during indoor recess times? It got me thinking!

Still diving into using my iPad as a digital conferring notebook and beginning to let go of my paper notes. It is beginning to feel less weird.

It’s going to be a great May with new things to enjoy, but let’s not forget poetry just because Poetry Month is over. Today I’m sharing about a recently published anthology of terrific poetry. http://teacherdance.blogspot.com/2012/04/book-slice-tasty.html
