Welcome to Day 16 of the March Challenge. Please leave a link to your slice in the comments below!
Today is also our second Classroom Challenge Sunday! We 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! 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
Co-author Leah Thomas is a huge source of energy behind both the adult and student challenges. She has several students who are sharing their writing on this Padlet. I’m sure they’d love some responses from around the world.
You can find other students slicing this month through the links below:
- Mrs. Levin’s 1st-5th Graders, IL
- Mrs. Wood’s 5th and 6th Graders
- Mrs. Thomas’ 2nd Graders, Kirkwood, MO
- Author’s Club, 1st-5th Graders, Kirkwood, MO

SUPPORT
If you encounter any issues with non-working links, problems with your permalink, or a permalink causing an image to appear in the comment section, our Slicer Troubleshooting Team is here to help. The team comprises four experienced Slicers: Glenda Funk, Fran McCrackin, Joanne Toft, and Peter von Euler. (Click here for a short tutorial to help you find your permalink and link your slice-of-life story to this post.)
