How to use this Page

My fourth grade colleague is going to be doing the Slice of Life Story Challenge with her class as well. Therefore, I made this flier to go home with the students tomorrow. It’s pretty text-heavy (so I split it into two pages for my kiddies), but I figured I’d post it like this [...]

This will be the cover page for the eight slice of life stories I wrote this past week. I’m going to be sharing them with my students so that they, too, can take part in the March Slice of Life Story Challenge. (I’m going to discuss this during the News & Announcements Part [...]

My First Sunday Times in RI Originally uploaded by teachergal I slid my feet into my flip flops and grabbed my keys from the “Do Not Forget” Key Holder that is around my door knob. I didn’t bother to dead-bolt the door since I knew I’d be back in a couple of minutes. I walked to the [...]

Working on a Weekend Originally uploaded by teachergal It took a very special person to fill-in my Grandmother’s Speed Dial Spot on my cell phone after she passed away last year. In fact, I didn’t reassign the #9 spot until mid-summer. I finally gave it to Christina, my former colleague, co-author, and dear friend. So, this afternoon, I [...]

Stacey challenged a writer’s notebook entry on a quote.  I’ve been thinking ever since then, What quote will I write about? Funny how Friday afternoons work — I’m selecting one completely different from those I’ve been reflecting on all week.

I pumped the soap bottle and felt the dollop of soap fall onto my fingertips. I rubbed my hands together and got ready for the lather to be washed away. However, when I put my hands on the knob of faucet at Saint-Germain by Molecule nothing came out. I turned it both [...]

This is my entry about a quotation that deals with hard work. Please link your entry to this post using Mr. Linky. Thanks! WN Entry: John Wayne Quotation Originally uploaded by teachergal

“Hiiiiiiiiiiaaaahhh!  Moooooommmmmmmm!”  The little voice greeted me as I opened the front door after work today.  (I just wish I could get the Doppler Effect to come out in my writing!)  The 27 pound blur whizzed through the foyer, leaped off the step into the living room, and without missing a beat, rounded the corner through [...]

Mr. Quirk, my high school driving instructor, told me that many accidents happen in parking lots since people aren’t paying attention. For that reason, I’ve always been sure to be extra-alert whenever I enter a parking lot since I’m assuming the other people aren’t as focused as I am. When I pulled into the parking [...]

this is going in my car Originally uploaded by teachergal Last week one of my nine-year old students asked me, “So, Ms. S… How’s it going with the balance?” “What?” I asked her perplexed. “You know, your one little word,” she paused. “Bal-ance.” Then she moved her [...]
