Welcome to the final week! It’s day 27, and SOLSC 2025 is winding down. What’s keeping you going? Where are you finding your inspirations?
BE INSPIRED
Yesterday, I highlighted posts from my daughters who slice with us. There’s another group that I’m highlighting today, and that’s the other co-authors of Two Writing Teachers. We do a lot behind the scenes, and they are also inspirational storytellers and commenters. While I don’t get to all of their posts every day, I’m highlighting some of my favorites.
- Betsy Hubbard notices signs of spring.
- Sarah Valter writes about tooth losing— a possible text set that could be developed!
- Any time duct tape is involved, there’s usually a good slice, and Leah Thomas’s post validates this statement.
- Lainie Levin has been on a hashtag roll, and she demonstrates the subtle power of #’s here.
- Jessica Carey captures emotion and conflict in this post about a neighbor’s bush removal.
- Family interactions are the source of many slices, and Shawnda Fukano captures a conversation as she draws a ______– you’ll have to read the post to find out!
These co-authors inspire and support me throughout not only the month, but also the year. They are amazing teachers, writers, and humans.
