Slicing & Kind Comments
Please link up your slice of life story to this post today. As always, be sure to check out other bloggers’ writing by clicking through the links in the comment section of this post. If you’re dropping by to link up quickly today, then please come back later to read through others slicers’ posts.
Anyone who’s completed the month-long Slice of Life Story Challenge knows the greatest prize comes in the form of a writing community. I recently reflected on the way this writing community has helped me grow as an educator, parent, and writer. I hope you’ll take a moment to read what I wrote, which is over at the Kindness Project Blog. It’s just one small way for me to say “thank you” for all you’ve done for me.
It’s late, but still Tuesday where I live. Here are reflections from a recent whirlwind trip:

My slice today is on noticing – something I am doing a much better job at thanks to SOL!
Knew I had to slice today…this poem is inspired by district work on the Common Core and the “well-timed” network failure during class today.

Good Morning my dear friends. Learning how to share is so important. My bodyguard Martha the dog, shares with the kittens.

It is amazing how stereotypes still influence us. It even effects how we choose and select reading material. I have been richly blessed by being a part of this writing community. Your encouragement has helped venture out beyond my comfort zone. Thank you. http://windows2mylife.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-exactly-is-graphic-novel.html

I must tell you about a book I love, Notice and Note: http://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/curling-up-with-professional-literature-am-i-sick/. I could not put this book down, even on a Friday night.
There’s more than one way to listen:

Just the tip of the iceberg. Ice burg? Why can’t I keep those straight? Ach, in any case, it’s a light slice, no need to get messy.

I completely agree! And your blog has been an inspiration during my first year of blogging.
