I love the fact that you are so reflective about the experience and offer a model for others. Your students should be very proud of themselves.

Thank yo...Brave reflection and sharing here, Holly. Thank you for letting us read it. I did the classroom challenge twice. The first year everyone wrote, but I partnered up with a dean and another teacher, so we shared the commenting on kids' slices. The second year I had one student slice a day on a class blog. That was more manageable for me and more meaningful for my high school writers as they were not as rushed writing every day. Love how you captured the lessons students learned.

It was my fourth year and my first time without the support of my own classroom. <br />I'm awed by the feedback you shared with us. It's a challenging month, especially when you throw in keeping up with student slices to the mix. Your post will be so beneficial for teachers who want to try this next year, as well as help you remember what you want to keep the same and what you want to change. <br />Our party always featured slices of pizza & slices of dessert for everyone, with veggies and fruit as well. Then I provided prizes for each level of participation - pencils, pens, gel pens, and mini composition books. Each level received the prior levels' gifts so that students who reached Level 4 got one of everything, It seemed to work out well.
