Join the Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Challenge.
I have been blogging since January, 2011. One discovery that has kept me going (teaching, writing, blogging) is the annual Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Challenge in the month of March. This will be my 4th year taking the challenge along with my students. I am a believer in blogging. I have drunk the Kool-Aid.
I now have the best Professional Learning Community ever. These people are supportive of everything from surviving a bad day to winning awards. My cheering section is large. I want to spread the love.
Carolyn and I met about 5 years ago when we were both newbies in a school. Being a newbie can be uncomfortable, but Carolyn and I found each other and connected easily. Like minds, similar philosophies, everything to make for a lasting friendship.
Now Carolyn and I teach at different schools, but we try to have coffee every few weeks or so. Recently she was sitting in my kitchen looking at The New Yorker on the counter. She said, “You should submit a poem to this magazine.”
I said, “Yeah, right. In a million years.”
She said, “I challenge you!”
So I said, “I challenge you to start blogging and do the Slice of Life Challenge.”
She brought her laptop over on Monday, so I could show her a few pointers. “What should I write about?”
I said, “I don’t even know what I’m going to write about yet.”
Then we both cheered, because great minds think alike. We will write about each other!
Please welcome my friend Carolyn, the Bayou Warrior, to this amazing community. I know she will like it here.
I am truly humbled by her first post. Click here.
