“The mark of a master is to select only a few moments but to give us a lifetime.”
~ Robert McKee
This is a friendly reminder that several Slicers are heading up to the Highlights Foundation for an Unworkshop for few days in late June. Consider joining them if you’d like to drop everything for a few days so you can spend time working on your writing. For more information about the Highlights Foundation’s facilities you can go to their website. You may also click here to learn more about an Unworkshop.
Any Slicer interested in joining the group in June should contact Stacey at stacey [at] staceyshubitz [dot] com for more details.
Please write your Slice, share your link, and give at least 3 comments to other Slicers.

Tonight’s post illustrates my frustration with the RTI process and how easily kids can become data points. George’s story is one that many of you will recognize. It’s one of my rare soapbox posts. 🙂 http://www.raisingreadersandwriters.com/2015/05/getting-lost-in-data.html

Thanks for the opportunity!
Congratulations for slicing for the first time in the crazy month of May. I tried to figure out how to comment on your post but can’t seem to do it.
Welcome to our writing community! Like Lisa, I couldn’t find a place to post a comment – and I wanted to say: Bravo, good for you that you listened to your teaching heart.
