Welcome to the eighth day of the 10th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
If you’re sharing your students’ slice of life stories, please head over to the Classroom Challenge.
BADGES
Are you a late night or early morning slicer? These badges are for you!
BE INSPIRED
- Linsey Taylor blogs at Mrs. Taylor’s Tales. Back in November, she wrote a slice that many of us can relate to titled, Stop Licking Friends. It reminds me that even the gross and unnecessary moments of teaching are often the funniest to write about. It is why we always say, “I could write a book about all the things I hear and see each day and nobody would believe it!”
