SOLSC Classroom Challenge

Day 22 of the SOLSC: Classroom Challenge Sunday!

Please leave a link to your slice in the comments below, then use the links below to comment on student writing. 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

I love reading the padlets below of student slices because it’s apparent when something BIG happens. For example, Natasha Domina’s class was recently abuzz in anticipation of a field trip. However, the real highlight occurred on March 2nd- The Lunch Incident. When a group of eighth graders collapsed a table in the lunchroom, several slicers covered this event from differing perspectives and levels of humor. What happened in your life this week that would get a group of kids giggling and gossiping?

COMMENT ON STUDENT WRITING HERE:

  • 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.
