My slice of life moment happened last Wednesday. After my Tuesday night class I was so excited to have a writing assignment with my students that I didn’t want to wait. After showing students my post and setting them up with the expectations I saw my kiddos really getting into it. Of course there was one or two who wasn’t really feeling the assignment but for the most part everyone enjoyed writing. No one was required to share...only if they wanted to. One young lady shared that she has always loved rainbows even before it became a symbol that everyone proudly displays now. When she read it, I felt her words and some sadness that her interpretation of rainbows is now gone. Another wrote of the first time she went to Mexico to meet her fathers’ parents. One girl told me that a commercial on the radio makes her smile every morning. It was awesome. Students wrote their words in a spiraling circle… in a box. One even drew box letters of the word life and wrote inside of that. By the end of each class students were excited about the option to write every week. I wish I'd started this sooner.
