#SOL16 Day 31 The Last Day of Our Slice of Life Challenge
I was sharing with my students this morning that today was the last day of the Slice of Life Challenge. A small group of them have been participating with me! We have all grown through this experience. We are better readers and better writers because of it!
At the end of our sharing time, I had an "aha moment." Why should we stop just because the challenge was about to end? So, I proposed that we do another challenge for the month of April. We have been studying poetry and so we are creating our own Poetry Challenge. I am so excited that they were willing to continue on this journey with me!! Then they asked, "So what about May? We've decided during May we will share our reading experiences!!" How cool is that?
As for me, The Tree Fairies story continues...I won't get to write or revise it tonight due to other commitments but tomorrow, I'm back on it. I woke up in the middle of the night knowing how it ends. Now, I just have to get through the middle of it. :) I am loving this!!
Oh how neat!! I have several students that participate as well and this idea may have inspired me! Like a writing club! Awesome and congrats!!
