I wanted to create a list of some of my favorite slices that I read last month during the Slice of Life Story Challenge. I've been digging in the archives. I was captivated by these slices (and countless more) for many reasons: It could be the story, it could be the words the writer chose, it could be the style and rhythm, or it could be that I felt the honesty, sincerity, or strong emotion emanating through the words. Or, maybe I just loved it just because . . . !
Thank you for your brilliance and mentor texts!

On a side note: Want to know how I created the picture montage of letters? Go to Spell with flickr. Thanks to Katie at Inquiry Live in the Classroom for sharing this great tool!
Dear Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI somewhat regret that I didn't keep a list of favorites from the beginning of March. At the same time I am glad that I didn't, I can now go back, reread, and find new readings.
Seeing my own slices on your list gave a little jolt of delight. Thank you.
