Thank you to all who commented on my slices this month. This was my first SOLC and I loved it! I will continue to slice on Tuesdays and look forward to seeing you throughout the year. Thank you Ruth and Stacey for an amazing challenge!

ReplyDeleteNice to see your list! I look forward to seeing you on Tuesdays too! Here we go to April!
ReplyDeleteYour list is great. So much has been learned through this writing process. I love reading how it changes teacher's thinking about writing for their students. Those are lucky students to have teachers who write. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAll of the realizations were so important, but the #1 reason is what will lead you towards answers for #7.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you back on Tuesdays year-round.
