I’m trying to get a better handle on who will be participating in the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge this-coming March. Would you mind taking this poll below. Please leave a comment BELOW if you’ve done the Challenge using blogs with your students for at least one of the past March challenges. (I’d like to chat with you.) Thank you!

I knew I wouldn’t be sorry if I wrote tonight. Tomorrow I will have four children, instead of three, sleeping in my house. Tonight marks the line between old and new.

I’m glad that I remembered to slice today. As with many holiday weekends, I have been off a day for most of the day!
I was truly moved by Richard Blanco’s inaugural poem. Please listen to it, read it, and check out my reflection. I want to link common images in powerful ways like he does. Wow!

A final adventure in Korea !http://teachtoinspire.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/a-final-adventure-in-korea/
Hello! For a couple of years I’ve blogged with my 7th graders. This year (sadly) we are not doing it for the sake of a curriculum study. I’m going to offer blogging as a club and try to encourage students to participate. We’ll see how it goes! I’d love to share any insight and perhaps you’ll find it useful!

My posts so far this year seem to focus on my OLW–Joy. Today’s post is about a small revolution taking place in my classroom, all thanks to a simple idea from Penny Kittle. Who knew 10 minutes was all it took http://deb-day.blogspot.com/2013/01/10-minute-revolution.html
Laundry day (literally) stinks at my house. http://jessicawhitmore.com/blog/2013/01/22/laundry-day-literally-stinks/
There are stories all around us. There was a story in the dog who barked this morning.

I really need to write a slice later today about this cold/flu that has turned my life upside down this week….but I also want to share this little slice of my family life from Sunday morning before this cold brought me to my knees and when I possibly caught this cold! http://drferreri.blogspot.com/2013/01/modus-operandi.html
A little distance can bring enormous benefits. In our daily lives, our perspective, and our writing too.

Practicing positive procrastination

Still thinking about making decisions in the classroom, referring to last week’s post & Ruth’s older post “how do you know”-http://teacherdance.blogspot.com/2013/01/more-of-how-do-you-know.html
I hope you try and solve the mystery of my post. I love using primary sources with students. Think Common Core when you read the post. If you do the lesson with your class you might want to have a discussion about people purchasing sacred objects. Should artifacts important to other cultures be sold to public or private collectors?

Do we need forgiveness in the classroom?

I spent yesterday’s Inauguration Day the same way I spent the one in 1997 – with family.
