Slice of Life Student Challenge Announcement

My fourth grade colleague is going to be doing the Slice of Life Story Challenge with her class as well. Therefore, I made this flier to go home with the students tomorrow. It's pretty text-heavy (so I split it into two pages for my kiddies), but I figured I'd post it like this in case… Continue reading Slice of Life Student Challenge Announcement

Slice of Life Story: It’s in the Blue Bag

My First Sunday Times in RI Originally uploaded by teachergal I slid my feet into my flip flops and grabbed my keys from the "Do Not Forget" Key Holder that is around my door knob.

Slice of Life: Christina

Working on a Weekend Originally uploaded by teachergal It took a very special person to fill-in my Grandmother’s Speed Dial Spot on my cell phone after she passed away last year. In fact, I didn’t reassign the #9 spot until mid-summer. I finally gave it to Christina, my former colleague, co-author, and dear friend. So,… Continue reading Slice of Life: Christina

I decided to get "fancy" and steam the milk with my Tassimo this morning: I figured that… Continue reading Slice of Life Story: Overflow

Slice of Life Story: Spewing Sink

I pumped the soap bottle and felt the dollop of soap fall onto my fingertips. I rubbed my hands together and got ready for the lather to be washed away. However, when I put my hands on the knob of faucet at Saint-Germain by Molecule nothing came out. I turned it both ways, but nothing… Continue reading Slice of Life Story: Spewing Sink

ruth: slice of life: welcome home.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiaaaahhh!  Moooooommmmmmmm!"  The little voice greeted me as I opened the front door after work today.  (I just wish I could get the Doppler Effect to come out in my writing!)  The 27 pound blur whizzed through the foyer, leaped off the step into the living room, and without missing a beat, rounded the corner through… Continue reading ruth: slice of life: welcome home.

Slice of Life Story: Close Call

Mr. Quirk, my high school driving instructor, told me that many accidents happen in parking lots since people aren't paying attention. For that reason, I've always been sure to be extra-alert whenever I enter a parking lot since I'm assuming the other people aren't as focused as I am. When I pulled into the parking… Continue reading Slice of Life Story: Close Call
