As we near the halfway mark of the challenge, take some time today to comment and celebrate the students writers who are walking the challenge with us. Please leave a link to your slice in the comments below, then use the links below to comment on student writing. Each Sunday, I’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
Erika Victor is a long-time slicer and teacher of fifth graders. Her students in Cambodia slice here. Check it out, leave some comments, and be inspired!
Looking for more student writers? Check out this list, or search the comments below for “CLASSROOM CHALLENGE.” Since this is the first Classroom Sunday, I’m still locating all of our kid-slicer URLs. I’ll add to the list throughout the day as I check the comments!
- Erika Victor’s 5th Graders in Cambodia slice on this padlet.
- Natasha Domina’s 3rd and 4th graders in the U.S. slice on this padlet.
