Treasure #SOLC18

Michelle over on Literacy Learning Zone shared a great, quick, but thoughtful option for Slicing — Treasure Today. Here’s my take on it.

today: Kindergarten students sharing their independent wonders with their classmates during Genius Hour
want to be: curled up with a good book before turning the light off

blessings: a few extra minutes with my husband over breakfast before beginning a busy week

thinking: ideas for a first-ever action research project in my classroom

planning: Slicing ideas that pop into my head at odd moment throughout the day

writing: today’s #TeachWrite’s daily word prompt — SMILE — which brings a smile to my face

loving: watching Kindergarten reading partners sharing whispered conversations over beloved books during Quiet Rest and Reading time after lunch

grateful: for the writing communities of Poetry Friday, Two Writing Teachers, and Teach Write, which nurture my writers soul

and today {again}: I treasure Kindergarteners and honoring their wonders
