slice #8

Before I sat down to write my slice, I ate supper

Before that I spent the afternoon with a friend beyond friends (Hawaii, here we come!!!)

Before that I drove the back roads home with the sunroof wide open

Before that I stepped out of a stuffy building into spring-like air

Before that I analyzed test data (blech.)
Before that I watched the high school chorus perform a concert for our school (they rock... literally)

Before that I listened to gasps and cheers as I finished reading our after-lunch read aloud book

Before that I ate lunch with one of my nearest & dearest (a true friend I'm lucky enough to teach with!)

Before that I watched 5th graders read & write (per their request, love that!)

Before that I sat back & marveled at Iditarod tracking

Before that I gathered books for next week

Before that I had my daily chat with my other nearest & dearest (who is my co-blogger!)

Before that I wished 6th graders a good weekend (& thought "Y'all wore me out this week!")

Before that I book talked new book club choices for 6th graders

Before that I conferenced with 6th graders

Before that I hurried through the front doors (late, late, late)

Before that I had a morning commute chat with my longest-closest-grew-up-together friend

Before that I gathered the day's necessities (I should do this the night before)

Before that I couldn't decide what to wear (I should do this the night before)

Before that I got ready

Before that I drug myself out of my cozy bed

Before that I hit the snooze button

Before that I hit the snooze button

Before that I hit the snooze button (sensing a pattern?)
Before that I woke up to a Friday.

That was fun!  I just couldn't think of what to write tonight, then I remembered this exercise I did with my students last year.  Time to pull that one back out for this year's group! 

Happy Friday fellow Slicers!
