Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice" to the Tuesday Slice of Life sponsored by Two Writing Teachers. |
During each week in March I selected a random day to share orange slice candy with my students. It was a sweet salute to the March Slice of Life Story Challenge sponsored by Two Writing Teachers.
On Monday, the last day of our March marathon of writing, we enjoyed a chocolate sheet cake in each class inscribed with the words, "Happy Day Slicer!" I wanted to write "slicers," but the powers that be decreed only one letter "s" in my set of sugar letters. I realize now that I could have switched the inscription to read "Happy Day Writers."
I love the beautiful smiles on my writers' faces!

Your students indeed look happy. You do a lot for your students, Ramona. Congrats to you & to your students for 31 days! I like the poem, & thanks for explaining how the arun works! Have a great rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteRamona,
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and your students on such an amazing accomplishment. We had our celebration lunch today. The students had so much to say. I loved how easily they all talked about their favorite pieces of writing from the challenge. I'm thinking about taking the favorites and combining them in one resource.
I enjoyed your poem. I may have to borrow that structure if you don't mind. It might be an interesting one to try this month.
