Slice of Life Story Challenge

Day 13 of the March SOLSC #SOL17

Betsy Hubbard

Welcome to the thirteenth 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

Do you ever wish you could connect to more slicers? Is there someone out there whose story you should be reading but you’re missing it because you scrolled too far? The co-authors had a conversation via email the other day and Kathleen Neagle Sokolowski had an amazing idea to help more teachers connect. Kathleen suggested using Padlet! “The Padlet of Slicers could be something you check out to see who looks interesting that you haven’t visited yet,” said Kathleen. We all thought it was a great idea and Kathleen got to work. Below is a video explaining how to use the Padlets and insert your information. It is quite simple even if you’ve never done it before. The link to the Padlets can be found at the bottom of these announcements.

BE INSPIREDBE INSPIRED.

  • Kim Parker, from Single Mom So Far, describes a detailed account of her child playing while she makes dinner. In her story, Pretend, you will hear beautiful and endearing language and you will feel her love for her child. It really is these simple moments in time that we often are given the silent opportunity to just notice and watch as the story unfolds.
