One of the most exciting things about participating in the Slice of Life Story Challenge is the community. Writers of all ages need to feel that connection with other writers.

Success, Struggles and Strategies~ Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge

When @cathymere first asked if I planned to participate in the 30 days writing challenge my answer was, "Yes! My class will love the idea of a challenge, and they write every day in our writing workshop, so why not!" After my rather impulsive "Yes" I reflected on the writers in my class and began wonder what this challenge would look like in our classroom.

Instant Minilesson Follow-Up

A strong active engagement, and a routine for informally assessing student work during the minilesson can give you the tools you need to be sure that no student leaves the meeting area completely confused.
