SOL 2016 Day 31: The Last Day!


Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life March Challenge 2016
This March, more than 300 teachers have committed to daily writing. If you’d like to read more “slices” (from other teachers and even students), visit: twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/challenges.

Now that this day has arrived,  I'm sorry to be done.  Along the way, more days than not I grumbled and moaned about committing to this challenge.  I'm so glad I kept going because this has been one of the best online writing challenges I've been involved in. What made this experience so special? The writers, and the amount of interaction between bloggers.  I've been in other online "communities" with almost no interaction at all. During the Slice of Life Story Challenge, for almost every post I got at least a few comments from readers, letting me know they appreciated my words. 

I know this project is so wonderful because it was created by teachers. The women behind Two Writing Teachers live what they espouse for developing writer capacity in students and teachers alike. I am so grateful I discovered their blog while researching  professional development ideas as part of my job. I've recommended their blog to other teachers in my district, and have added them to my reading list.

I'll be back for Slice of Life Tuesdays and look forward to reading
many of the blogs I discovered during this month. So farewell for now.

  1. I'm sorry it's over too! It was a lot of writing and like you, there were lots of days that I grumbled to my husband...I have to go write my blog or go make my comments...but I really did, enjoy it. And I'm going to miss it! I probably will keep blogging anyway! Although no one commenting back may make it a bit less satisfying!

  4. It has been great o be able to get to know you a bit through your writing and I am happy to hear that you plan on slicing on Tuesdays. I think you will find the same supportive community there, with a bit less pressure and intensity because it is just once a week. It will be funny to go back to once weekly.
