It's March! SOL#1

I rounded the corner hurrying to a meeting that I was already late for, when two 6 year olds ran up to me with big smiles on their faces.

"I wrote my Slice of Life today, Mrs. Johnson."

"Me too!  I love writing!  I even write at  home every day.  I am writing a book."

My mood lifted immediately, my anxiety melting away.   I looked up at the first grade teacher as her students lined up in the hall.

Grinning, I said to her, "Your girls just made my day!"  I promised the girls that I would come write with them soon.

This is what I love about the March challenge...

Kids excited about writing.

Kids and teachers sharing their stories.

Connecting with other writers.

Stories have been swimming in my head all day.  I wasn't sure which one I would write about, until my encounter with two first grade writers.

So here we go...day 1 of Two Writing Teachers March Slice of Life Challenge.  It's a month of writing, reading and connecting.  I'm looking forward to the adventure!
