I wish I could say, “I’m back!” But given my track record lately I’m not sure how consistent I can be. It has been a super busy year so far. I hope I can keep coming back every week, but I can’t make any promises. For right now, I’m here.

It’s the National Day on Writing today. Why do you write? (perfect synergy with Slice of Life, right?) I share out a collaborative project with NWP teachers, and talk about a podcasting activity with students going on in my classroom today.
