You're Invited ~ #sol17

I believe being a writer is one of the biggest gifts you can give to your students. ~ Stacey Shubitz

This month I am participating in the Slice of Life Story Challenge.  Thanks to Two Writing Teachers for creating a space for me to share my corner of the world.

Back in January, Linda from Teacher Dance, wrote about attending a "Favorites Party." When I read her post, I knew I would somehow include it as a March slice.  

Each person was asked to bring five of their favorite things.  The original idea was to bring five of ONE favorite thing, but newcomers to the party read it wrong and brought five different things.  Doesn't this sound like a fun thing to do with friends?

I do too, and I have invited YOU!
  

I am kicking off the challenge with a post that keeps on sharing. Sometime this month when you need a slice, (and yes, you know it WILL happen!) accept this invitation to my "Favorites Party." What a great way for us introduce ourselves and get to know each other a little bit better as the month moves along.

Imagine all of us sitting down in my living room or my front porch, and sharing with each other five of our favorite things, and why they are our favorites.  I can't wait to see what you bring along.  

Here is what I would bring to share with all of you:

1. Dark Chocolate M & M's because they make the perfect mid-day pick-me-up.  My prep period is in the middle of the afternoon, so I always keep a bag of these in my desk drawer.  And isn't dark chocolate suppose to be healthy for you?
2. Dr. Teal's Soothe and Sleep with Lavender Bubble Bath because I love winding down the day with bubbles and a book.  
3. Pentel Energel Pens because writing is much more fun when you write in color!  And these pens glide across the paper.
4. Pillows because I have held a pillow when I sleep since I was about 13 years old. I can't sleep without it!
5. Comfy clothes because life's no fun unless you are comfortable!

And don't forget to RSVP when you post by either commenting here or tweeting me @Teachr4.  I can't wait to see what you all are sharing.

Let's get this party started!

Here are some links to other slicers who have attended our party!  Stop by and see what favorites they are bringing!  If you have attended, and I have missed your link, please let me know so I can add it!
