Weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge
Published by Stacey Shubitz
I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island. I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010). I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels. View all posts by Stacey Shubitz

@Tracey: LOVED your post. I tried to leave a comment about it on your blog 2x and got knocked-off both times. While I cannot copy and paste it here (Wouldn’t you know Blogger lost it!?!?), I wanted to be sure I shared the essence of it with you.
First, yea for getting outside during your staff development. It sounds like a fun activity that allowed everyone to share a few laughs, cut loose, and refocus. AND thanks to everyone’s energy level going up, you got out early. Yea!
