Did I tell you that it snowed yesterday?I looked out the window and big, fat flakes were spinning and whirling in a frenzy.I saw it all outside my classroom window.And, then it stopped.As suddenly as it started.The water that had melted from the snow now turned to ice. Did I tell you that I love… Read more

Dear Slice of Life,I want to go to Mexico. When I was six years old I always forgot to ask my parents. When I get home I am probably gonna ask my parents. I hope I do. They’re probably gonna say no but it’s worth the risk if I do. – Isaiah StarfighterI was making… Read more

2:00 pm I stood in the middle of my classroom and took a look around. I noticed a stack of baskets on top of a table where a now forgotten science experiment used to be. I moved the offending baskets out of the way but didn’t put them to any good use; I’ll leave that… Read more
