Slice of Life Story Challenge

Day 9 of the March SOLSC #SOL25: Classroom Challenge Sunday!

Leah Thomas

Welcome to Day 9 of the March Challenge. Please leave a link to your slice in the comments below!

Today is also our first Classroom Challenge Sunday! Today, I encourage you all to take an extra moment to cheer on our under-18 participants. This year, unlike in the past, students are slicing alongside us in March, and they’re off to a great start! Each week, we’ll highlight one class, but please share some love with all of our student slicers! If you are a teacher posting a link to student writing today, please start your comment with CLASSROOM CHALLENGE in all caps to make it easier for slicers to find your students.

BE INSPIRED

Natasha Domina is a teacher in South Bristol, Maine. Her 3rd and 4th graders slice on this padlet. Take some time today to leave a few comments for these young, inspirational writers!

Looking for more student writers? Check out this list. I’ll add to the list throughout the day as I check the comments!
