SOL Tuesday
Welcome back, one and all! Many of you just participated in the 10th Annual March Slice of Life Story Challenge, and what a challenge it turned out to be!
WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.
SHARE a link to your post in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOLS bloggers.
This week, focus on the freedom that writing offers!
* Please note that while Slice of Life Tuesdays will continue throughout the month of April, Two Writing Teachers co-authors will be taking a brief week-long break from blogging during the week of April 9-15.
Look for us to return on April 17th!

Well, doing the March Slice of Life challenge for the first time really did hook me! I was suffering from withdrawal, so decided to join the Slice of Life Tuesdays! 🙂 Here is a little story about a chance encounter with balloons. ~JudyK

sometimes you get only one chance to do things the right and best way:

My mother was the same way. It’s probably where I got it from.

Is this open to students as well? Mine don’t want to stop!
Sounds like your students are on fire for writing! This place, however, is only for adults posting slices of life 🙂
How wonderful!
Like Lanny said, our Tuesday challenge is for adults-only. However, you might want to connect with one of the other classrooms who did the Classroom SOLSC to see if they’d like to continue commenting on each other’s writing.
Great idea, Stacey!
I set up a wiki for my students for Slice of Life Tuesdays. We have been doing it all year long. We invited our 4th grade mentees to join us.They love reading and commenting. It is a private wiki but you could do that and have your students comment on each other’s blogs.
Back for my first regular Tuesday post after completing my first SOLC! Inspiration can come at odd times and from odd places. https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/2017/04/04/odd-inspiration-sol/
