Welcome to the eleventh 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.
Announcements
Be sure to visit the invitation to participate in the first mid-month challenge! Are you ready for a commenting challenge?
Friendly reminder, Eastern Standard Time (EST) will change to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) beginning at 2:00 a.m. tomorrow. This means there will be one less hour to slice (23 hours instead of 24) for all slicers tomorrow only, 3/12. Of course, the time change (EDT) will remain for the rest of the challenge.
BE INSPIRED
