Welcome to Day 8 of the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge! So glad you are here!
2018 CLASSROOM SOLSC PADLET
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Please be sure to comment on our daily inspiration/questions. We are hoping this will foster a sense of community among the teachers who are participating! Have an idea for how to do this even better? Great! Leave your suggestion in the comments or contact us using the information below.
- If you haven’t already we encourage you to reach out to another teacher who is participating in the challenge and partner up. You may find it a bit easier to teach your students to comment on other students’ writing if you get familiar with one or two other classroom blogs and how they work.
- Only post the link to your students’ slices of life here. Do not post the link to your personal slice of life stories here. Go to the daily call for individual slice of life stories to post your personal slice. This is the link to Day 1 only. This link will change each day. You should visit the Two Writing Teachers blog daily for the newest link.

I’m hoping my students begin to notice the world around them and see the thousands of ways it can inspire their writing. Yesterday one of my students wrote a slice about his dishwasher and he was so surprised at how much he could write. That’s success.

I was telling a coworker today how much I love this challenge. It’s become something I can’t NOT do! Participating as an individual and as a teacher is a lot of work, but in the end it is worth it. I love seeing my kids get excited about writing and noticing the improvements in their posts each day. I hope this is an activity that sparks something inside them to encourage them to write, share their truth, and express themselves.

I am hoping our writers find joy. That they see that they have something to say and also what it means to write something that will be shared with others.

I feel like this year blogging hasn’t been the focus it usually is for me with my class. We’ve had some scheduling changes that leads to less available time for in-class blogging which has made a difference. There has also been some wacky/difficult things happening this year and the focus just hasn’t been there. So I’m hoping this month-long challenge reminds students that blogging is a fabulous way to express yourself, grow as a writer, and connect with other bloggers. I hope my students begin to write more fluently and see themselves as writers with stories to share.

I hope that my students find a reason to write with a new found spark that the challenge can bring.
