Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 6 (The Price of Gasoline)

I considered going on the weekend, but after having to do a four gallon fill-up on Tuesday night to get-by, I decided to fill-up my tank on my way home this evening. I get no joy out of pumping my own gas, something I didn't have to do as a teenager in NJ, where it's… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 6 (The Price of Gasoline)

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 5

Was the bear cold? Originally uploaded by teachergal "Proceed to the first landing," I told my Assembly Line Managers once I saw that my class was ready to leave the lunch room. I saw a big bump under one of my student's coats, which she was holding in her arms, and decided to stay at… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 5

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 4

We Voted Together! #3 & #4 at the Polling Place! Originally uploaded by teachergal I didn't care if I am sick. I'm voting today! "What time do you think we need to leave to go and vote?"

Preservation

My SOLS go in here! Originally uploaded by teachergal I decided to purchase an inexpensive presentation booklet from Staples for the purpose of housing my Slice of Life Stories since I'm writing them electronically, rather than in my writer's notebook. However, how does one preserve their students' Slice of Life Stories? Well, my colleague Kate… Continue reading Preservation

Not Quite the Start I Hoped For… But Not Bad

Eight of my 18 kids (two were absent) came into school today with their Slice of Life Story Entries from the weekend. I was hoping to have more like 90% of my students come in with their entries written today, but I guess you cannot get everything you wish for, right? However, let's focus on… Continue reading Not Quite the Start I Hoped For… But Not Bad

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 3

The alarm buzzed in my ear at 5:15 a.m. I'm still sick, but I'm going in! Therefore, I took about three more minutes and then rolled right out of bed. I headed to the computer (because that's what all tech-addicted people do when they wake up in the morning) to check my e-mail. Then, it… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 3

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 2

I finished attaching ribbon, to the wooden boxes I painted, earlier this morning. I decided I had gotten enough practice painting practice. Therefore, it was time to bring out the stencil and have a go with the stenciling. I've been wanting to do stenciling (using a template!) for years. However, I always made excuses why… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story: Day 2

Ruth’s SOLC: Studio Desk

  The first day of March.  The first day of the Slice of Life Challenge (SOLC).  The first entry I've ever written in a Moleskine Notebook.  And I've found myself paying attention (even more) to the everyday special of an ordinary Saturday afternoon.  All of this wide-awake living has made it difficult to choose the… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLC: Studio Desk
