Write, Share, and Give
“Find your best time of the day for writing and write. Don’t let anything else interfere. Afterwards it won’t matter to you that the kitchen is a mess.”
~ Esther Freud
Please write your Slice, share your link, and give at least three comments to other Slicers.
I realized today that I forgot to post my slice last night. I posted it to #sol15 but I guess I was so exhausted that I forgot the last step. Here it is: Creating a Summer Bucket List=>http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2015/05/creating-summer-bucket-list.html.

I had trouble writing a slice tonight. I’m consumed by my to do list … including creating a leveled book room at school. We need your help! Can you share your thoughts? Always appreciated!

I’m so sad that I missed last Tuesday. And I almost missed today! But I made it.
Today I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about a handful of people in my life who used to be vital in my life but suddenly turned against me. This poem is for all of them.

Hi Jennifer – the link you posted isn’t working. I think you mean to leave this link instead. http://readingteacherwrites.com/2015/05/26/slice-of-life-tuesdays-i-couldnt-wait/
Hmm…that’s weird. I wonder why it didn’t work? Thank you!
Looking at the changes a few year will bring.

I wanted to share with you, “A Story Game.” Today is the first day of my “new” writing for: “The Write Practice.” I hope this gives you an idea for your writing classes. ( And I am giving away the drawing.)

Ahh! I’m so jealous of your job! I spent ten years in the classroom and what I really want to do is be in the library! I love your ideas of book clubs for both students and teachers. Have you ever thought of having a student pick a teacher (or vice versa) to do a book club together with?

I also posted this at the OWL check in – just because I wasn’t looking at what I was doing. I guess I need to get back in the flow in more than one way! Glad to be writing again!

Is there anything better than getting into a bed made with freshly washed sheets dried on the line on a spring day in Maine? I actually wrote this poem yesterday, and that may be cheating, but the feeling of utter content lingers!

I am at a holding place tonight. Nothing major just in a state of watching and waiting.
Taking a bit of time to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day and some of its rituals before four full days of PD in 3 different buildings. (The last days of May will rush by!)
