Link up your SOLSC post for today! I’ll be featuring some students tomorrow!
Featured Student Slicers ~ 2011 ~ 1/31
It seems like there was a fairly positive response to the SOLSC yesterday! I’m excited to see how this continues and hope to share a few featured slices from students – some directly linked from their blogs, others typed up and shared from their SOLSC journals. Here are some standout slices from Tuesday, March 1 […]
SOLSC ~ 2011 ~ 2/31
From my position in the driver’s seat, I glance back at the talkative toddler in the back. Her expressions are full and real and as I shift my gaze between the mirror and the road, I find myself doing so to insure that it is still my sweet little girl, with words and ideas that […]
SOLS: It’s happening
I feel like this slice needs a disclaimer…I didn’t intentionally use any particular aspect of craft besides honesty. If nothing else, that’s something that I’ve really enjoyed in my classroom lately. The honest way my 7th graders have been writing about why they want to research a particular job, the 8th grader who hates poetry, […]
SOLS: Is It OK?
I sat at the table, the noisy talk of teachers acting much like regular people filled the restaurant. Bursts of laughter helped edge out the flickers of sadness at saying farewell to one among us. Hungrily, I surveyed my burger for the best possible first bite. Flavors melding, grease dripping, then suddenly – horror! My […]
SOLS: A Glimpse
“I think I’m not going to eat anymore,” Calder declares, carefully placing the untouched half of his PB&J back onto his plate. Trying not to allow the smile I felt fully form, I ask, “Why, Buddy?” Slowly, deliberately, he explains. “Because you keep saying my food makes me get bigger, and I just don’t think […]
SOLS: Hidden Beauty
On mornings when we’re running late, feeling the edges of our words a little too sharply as we toss them around at one another, on drives when the volume from the backseat reaches deafening decibels, on those days especially, witnessing unexpected beauty changes everything. This weekend, as we drove home from town Sunday afternoon, we […]
SOLS: Follow my Lead
I arrived to pick up my kids from daycare just as the entire group of 12 toddlers paraded, hand-in-hand, in from the playground. They clasped their gloved-hands as best they could to be safe as they crossed the parking lot. Since they were all ready, I loaded the kids into the van and I think […]
SOLS: Growing up
With a good month of school now under our belts, we’re well established in our household routine. I like routine and the comfort of knowing what’s in store. Besides, I think the presence of a routine helps make the deviation from it special and exciting. Today, was not a deviation and given the state I […]
SOLS: Whew!
I know this in only my second Slice of Life post, so please forgive me for bending the rules a bit already. While I’ve had about a thousand different ideas I could write about, I’ve settled on simply sharing a annotated list of the jam-packed Tuesday ’round these parts. 1:00am – still awake and having […]
