Hello, Slicers, and happy Tuesday! Today, I’ll continue to offer a feeling word to get you thinking if your writing muscles are slow to start. I invite you to write and share a slice of your life today, possibly centered around a time you felt fear. I challenge you to zoom in on a small moment and tell every step, thought, and feeling of that experience.
Here’s a Sneak Peek: Coming soon, a TWT Facebook group for you, our community, to post questions, ideas, and classroom experiences. Stay tuned for more info!

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.

Happy Anniversary! I just got back from a vacation, and I finished off my post in the airport. There’s nothing better than eating ice cream in July on vacation. Enjoy the battlefield tomorrow and the rest of your summer.
