Another Commenting Challenge!
Please take the time to read and comment on CLASSROOM slices. There are several young slicers joining the challenge to write for a month. Hope on over to the Classroom Challenge and take some time to leave some comment-goodness. Who knows — you might even find a new mentor text to use in your classroom! Then go to Stacey’s post to enter for a chance to win a copy of my friend Heather Rader’s EXCEPTIONAL book and DVD, Side by Side.
WRITE. Each day in March write a slice on your own blog.
SHARE. Link your post here (using the SAME username each day) before the comments close. (Comments typically close around 5 am.)
GIVE. Comment on at least three other slices.
Any questions, please contact:
- Linda Baie – lindab414[at]gmail[dot]com (If you last name begins with A – G.)
- LeAnn Carpenter – leannecarpenter[at]sbcglobal[dot]net (If your last name begins with H – M.)
- Bonnie Kaplan – blkdrama[at]mac[dot]com (If your last name begins with N – S.)
- Carol Wilcox — carwilc[at]aol[dot]com (If your last name begins with T – Z.)
