If you haven’t already done so, then it’s time to write your slice of life story! Once it’s written, please share it with our community of writers by leaving the permalink to your blog post in the comments section of this post. Finally, give comments to at least three other Slicers today.
I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

Love this post! Because even though I’m a ‘seasoned’ teacher (LOL) who has recently sort of retired, I always loved those silly plan books. Writing helped me think, thinking helped me remember…and going back to the physical landscape and marking it up, drawing arrows or sticky-noting was just something I loved and will miss! If you looked in my plan books from year to year, the thing I’m most proud of was that I never worked off the old book from the previous year.
After slicing all of March, I have committed to slicing every Tuesday – to “walk the walk” with my student in my Teaching Writing course. Glad to be back with this amazing community of teacher writers, https://aileenhower.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/first-day/
