What moment in life do you want to capture today? Only a few more stories left to share during the month of March!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
As we wrap up the March Slice of Life Story Challenge, it’s time to get ready for the April Classroom Challenge. This post from Leah provides all of the details. Please share with your teaching friends and colleagues!
BE INSPIRED
Some posts are so vivid that it makes me feel like I’m living right in the moment with the writer. One such post caught my attention this week–“Say ‘Aaah’” by Kim Whitmore. In this post, Kim describes the freedom and joy that comes with abandoning your inhibitions and being open to the world around you. From the very first line–“It was the scream that caught our attention”–she weaves a slice that captures the very best of a healing weekend away. It’s a celebration of friendship, lightness, and fun. Be sure to check out her blog, Sweet and Sour.
