Welcome to our weekly Slice of Life Story Challenge! Please leave the permalink to your own blog post, and comment on at least three other posts. Comments energize writers and keep our writing community vibrant.
Our community is a source of strength for each other. My thoughts continue to be with people who are impacted by both Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.
On a related note, if you are a slicer who is attending NCTE in St. Louis and you’re interested in joining Stacey and Deb for dinner on 11/18 at 7 pm, please email Stacey at stacey[at]staceyshubitz[dot]com. They’d love to raise a glass and toast members of our community in person!

A podcast I listened to this morning triggers thinking about my “read by genres” program that I used in my sixth grade classroom! Do retired teachers ever stop thinking about the classroom and what they did or didn’t do correctly?
