Slice of Life - Fulfilling My Heart Round 2

One sunny day the birds were out I was going to the bus stop then suddenly! a big gust of wind blows my hair on picture day.  I had to run alllll the way into my bathroom and re-do my hair.  All of it.  My mom came rushing into the bath room... and she says.....


One time my friend Will had a sleepover with me.  We started eating dinner it was kfc chicken bowls.  At like 5:15pm I poured so much gravy it was like stew.  I pouted.  Way too much gravy that is not good.  I mean Not good.  Advice never pour too much gravy on things.


Yes, another round of papers to look at, narratives tonight.  I was working hard to get through the stack.  This is the third round I've taken to "score".  If I'm being honest, I wasn't stopping to notice anything until I got almost to the bottom.  Both of these pieces are written by boys and I've only shared their first page, a lead.  These leads made me stop.  They made me smile.  They made my heart fill with joy.  I've always been a fan of choice in my writing workshop.  I don't really know anything else.  Today I know Choice promotes Voice - this might be my new writing mantra and I only discovered it by stopping and noticing.
