WRITE a slice of life story.
SHARE your link in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOL stories.
My third graders are setting up their blogs this week. December turned out to be a great time to get started. As I explained some of the process to my class I saw a surge of excitement and I know it’s only the first wave.
If you’ve been putting off slicing or taken a break, December is a great time to get back into a writing habit. If you could use some inspiration today try taking a walk! Happy slicing, reading, and commenting.

Took some time to slice about books that have changed my life: https://iheartpurplestuff.blogspot.com/2018/12/top-25-books-that-changed-my-life.html
This was a game for the ages, with lots of emotion before, during, and afterwards.

I tried to comment on your blog, but it’s glitching for me!
I was perplexed about what to write about. Two Twitter conversations (#TeachWrite and #DareToBe) provided the inspiration to write. http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2018/12/step-forward.html
I encountered a scene out of a picture book on my drive to work this morning, https://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2018/12/04/a-red-pickup-instead-of-a-blue-truck/.

Tooth ache tends to steal all the attention, even when writing a slice. Trying to make sense of something that doesn’t necessarily need sense making.
