Welcome to the Tuesday Slice of Life Challenge. We invite you to write, post a comment with your slice, and read and comment on other slices today.
If you need some inspiration, I’ve been offering emotions to slice around in July and August. Write about a time you felt confusion today. Zoom in on your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

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.

This summer has been a series of medical ups and downs that did not provide enough space for me to join Two Writing Teachers for Tuesday’s Slice of Life. Today, I offer an image poem series as a response to US Poet Laureate Ada Limone’s @YouAreHerePoetry challenge.
