Today is Day 23 of the Slice of Life Story Challenge.

Have personally presented with her? Check
Numerous zoom sessions? Check

Facilitator … YES!
Setting the conditions for students to LEAD!

You are welcome. I envisioned them as a cross between vocab development and a riddle for “Guess who today’s ‘Thankful’ person is?”
excellent post in many ways! And top notch resources!
Thanks, Tim. Trying to stay on track!
