Are you a person who sees in colors? Perhaps a strong emotion brings a certain hue to your vision, like the sayings “Seeing red” or “Why so blue?” For some inspiration today, reflect on a color and a time you felt or saw that color.
Don’t forget to read and respond to at least three other slicers. Maybe you’ll tell them the color you experienced when reading their slice!

Leah Thomas is passionate about honoring student voice and identity through writing workshop and early literacy. She believes that for children to see themselves as writers, they must be trusted with autonomy and supported as they explore their writing processes. By centering intentional identity development, foundational skills instruction, and a brave classroom community, Leah nurtures young writers as they grow in both skill and craft. The Gateway Writing Project strengthens her belief that teachers who write are better writing teachers.
