Every Tuesday, the team at Two Writing Teachers invites you to write a slice of life post, share your permalink in the comments below, and give a comment or two to other writers.
Even though fall is one of the busiest times of the year in the teaching world, it’s also a time for renewal as we begin a new school year, grow relationships with new students and colleagues, and spread our wings to try new things in both our professional and personal lives. Take some time today to sit, reflect, write, and share a slice of life with us!
