Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.
– Barbara Kingsolver
Welcome, Tuesday slicers! It is time to 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.
And, for those of you contemplating taking up the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge, here is a wonderful resource – Stacey’s Q&A session with Jee Young Kim’s fifth grade class at the Singapore American School:
Meet Thomas the Cat!
