I’ve been camping so it’s a day late but here’s my SOL for yesterday. About boys I have taught becoming men. http://teachingfrombehind.blogspot.com/2013/07/slice-of-life-july-2-2013-boys-to-men.html
Still here and tip toeing back to slicing.

Remembering my father and July 4th. http://payanwriting.blogspot.com/2013/07/slice-of-life-fourth-of-july.html
I have done it! I have created a blog and written my first slice. I still consider me to be “under construction” but I long to become a part of a writing community and this is my first step. If anyone can advise me on how to link back on my to Two Writing Teachers, I would appreciate the help. Still learning…but at least I am writing!

We had company today. This morning I looked around at my messy house. Perfectionism and procrastination made it this way, twenty minutes made it much better. http://chartingbythestars.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/a-slice-of-housekeeping/
Most of the summer I live in the country side and stay disconnected from internet. This summer it has happened that I have been back home on Tuesdays, so I have been able to slice. I don’t know about the rest of the Tuesdays this summer. Today I’ll share a small glimpse of my paradise.

I tried to summarize the ALA experience into one slice – it was difficult. Beyond grateful that I went to this fabulous conference.

Karen,
I keep trying to leave a comment about your slice and it disappears. Loved it and yes, it’s great that you made your daughter lunch on her first day of work. SUPPORT with LOVE 🙂

Happy 4th of July Slicers
The house is now quiet and empty after 12 days with our Girls. Here’s the how the rest of the week played out.

I’m up too…after falling hard on the trail (another slice perhaps)…Have you ever had an article of clothing that you just couldn’t part with? Here’s my story. xo

Last week I wrote about a suitcase, and this week it’s about a pair of boots:

Since summer camp is on my mind because of my children, I thought I’d share a slice of camp from years past http://iheartpurplestuff.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-watermelon-song.html
Finally think I know what to write about for ISI 13 in San Jose WP — writing round in circles, but topic came to me later in the shower. 🙂

Sitting here posting and actually, really listening to a little rain shower! It’s such a gift to us in Denver! I’ve written more about the All-Write Conference today. There is so much to share & I hope you will all find a take away from my post! http://teacherdance.blogspot.com/2013/07/more-from-all-write-summer-reading.html
I’m trying ideas from Poetry Mentor Texts by Capelli and Dorfman. This slice is a persona poem-a poem written in the voice of another.

I’m away too, but amazingly have wifi in my tent!!! I’m up late camping since it doesn’t get dark here until…forever! Having a great time and haven’t lived out my poem I wrote the other day yet, but today is probably the day. I hope everyone can imagine something magical for their day today and live it.
http://ithinkinpoems.blogspot.com/2013/07/imagine.html
That’s my kind of camping! (Or is it considered glamping?”)
