Welcome to our weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge!
At Two Writing Teachers, our entire team is very proud of our community of teachers who write. We’re especially proud of the connections that form when teachers like you comment on each other’s writing. Be sure to leave the permalink to your own blog post, and comment on at least three other posts. Maybe today will be the day you take the extra moment to seek out a post by someone new?
Write. Share. Give. Have fun.
Here is one that I wrote which discusses how I applied mindfulness to experiences at Space Camp for Educators this summer. 🙂
