Welcome to the ninth day of the 10th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

It’s KID COMMENTING DAY! We encourage you to hop over and visit the Classroom Challenge and give some clicks to students who are working so hard each day to participate. Show them some comment love!

  • Lauren Petri writes at Taxonomy of a Teacher. This month, on Day 3,  she wrote a slice full of gratitude for her mother. Who are you grateful for? Often times the people in our lives become a centerpiece of a slice here and there as they have such an impact on our every day moments.

    1. I tried to post directly on your blog and kept getting an error message. Just wanted to say I couldn’t agree with you more. It is really frustrating. Yes, I seize the opportunity to get to the beach when I can, but I’m also spending many hours on grad classes, professional development, and planning. I love the part about making half the salary of others and not having to worry about plans when your sick. I can’t even imagine what that would be like. 🙂 Like you said though, wouldn’t trade it for any other career in the world.

    1. Hello Kimberlee, It looks like you mistakenly commented here on the Two Writing Teachers adult challenge page. All Classroom Challenge posts go on the Classroom Challenge page (also, I think you forgot the link!)
