Before you link your Slice of Life story today, please take a few minutes to check out our newly designed Slice of Life Information Page! This page contains all the information and FAQs for anyone who would like to join in the slicing fun. You will find information for the year-long Tuesday SOL posts, as well as information for both the individual and classroom March challenges.
http://twowritingteachers.org/challenges/
We hope that you will bring a friend (or two or three or twenty…) to join you on Tuesdays and throughout the month of March. This page will help answer any questions. Spread the word, recruit a writer!
A huge thank you to Betsy for all of your hard work on this new page. You compiled a whole lot of information into one succinct and useful resource. Thank you, too, to the team of co-authors who helped with all the revisions!
Please write your Slice, share your link, and give some comments to (at least three) other slicers.
If you’re leaving your comment early in the day, please consider returning this evening or tomorrow to read some of our evening posters’ slices.

Hi again
It’s been ages since I had time to slice, but as I finished my end of year report comments and went out to the garden to enjoy some sun over the weekend, I was motivated to write by my visitor in my veggie patch…

I’m late, but I needed to wait…
Operation release books into the wild…inconspicuously into a mega-busy Starbucks to celebrate Donalyn Miller’s Reading in the Wild. I did it!

Tonight’s meandering post (stick with me) leads to a book recommendation!

I like the new page. Some of my pre-service teachers will be slicing as part of one of my courses winter term, so it comes at a perfect time as I get ready to introduce the idea to them in January.
Here is my slice about my daughter’s explorations of matter and states of matter this evening: http://readwritethinkgrow.blogspot.com/2013/11/matter-homework-is-just-beginning-slice.html
Amanda — That would be great to introduce them to slicing in Jan. Yea!

First, I’m wondering what the criteria is for being listed as a “Year-Round Slicer”? Is it a closed group or would someone like me who participates pretty much every week for almost two years qualify? Thank you.
And now my slice: http://iheartpurplestuff.blogspot.com/2013/11/sunshine-in-rain.html
I need to be doing so many other things, but tonight I want to write:

Well I figured if I was going to show up at the Slicers breakfast at NCTE I’d better actually write a slice. : )

I have used Five Minute Friday as a quick write with my students. Today it saved me from a blank screen sadness. (It’s the feeling you get, when it is Tuesday, you wish to write a slice of life, yet you have stared at a blank screen for a very long time)

Hi Bernadette, to find the unique url for your Slice of Life Story link, you need to go to your blog, click on the link to the exact post you want to share, then copy that link from your browser. The link you posted here is actually the url for your entire blog. As soon as you publish another post, people will have to scroll around to find your slice of life post, which is frustrating. The unique url for your Go Flyers post is: http://haddonmusings.com/2013/11/18/go-flyers/ Hope this helps!
Thank you, thank you. I think I finally have got it.
I am posting again because I didn’t do it right the first time – also, can anyone tell me how to find my URL on wordpress – thanks.

A tornado hit our county Sunday and my kids were out in it. This slice is about that moment of fear. It was just a few minutes, but seemed a lot longer than that.

it’s autumn, and so it’s time:

I’m thankful my daughter is a cheerful person when she’s under the weather. That being said, I had to renege on some of my parenting rules when she came down with a cold yesterday morning. Perhaps that’s why she’s so upbeat when she’s sick…

A simple, uneventful trip to the mall led to my SOL this week; however, I guess you know you are a “slicer” when there are SO, SO many things you could have written about!

Really would love to get my class to slicing. Glad to have until March to get there. I also love how this idea came to be.
Here’s my slice. Thinking about what I do..http://jarhartz.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/whos-the-learner/
Great job in writing all the ins & outs of slicing Betsy! I hope I can persuade a few colleagues to join me in the SOLS March challenge! Here’s mine today, I had to write about a book that kept me reading these last two days so I could finish. Take a look: http://www.teacherdance.org/2013/11/have-to-talk-about-it.html
