Noticings
Today I am a bit stuck. So I am going to write about what is going on at the end of the school day.
I see students packing up their belongings. Chairs neatly stacked. Two students scouring the floor for pencils.
I hear children chatter. Conversations about this weekend’s happenings swirl throughout the room.
I smell the lingering odor of bleach wipes. The teacher’s last chance to rid the room of pink eye or maybe a stomach bug.
I feel the cool wind breeze by me as someone opens the door.
I taste, nope not gonna taste anything from school today.
Happy Friday!
Good choice not to taste anything.

I hope…those bleach wipes are successful! Have a great weekend, maybe one without any presentations or other “must-do”s.

I loved this observant slice! The conversations swirling played out in my head as I moved through your piece. Your ending with a punch had me giggle: “I taste, nope not gonna taste anything from school today.” Smart move!

Another simple slice – which I appreciate. Sometimes writing is just a matter of taking the time write (or sketch) what is right in front of you. Great ending – made me chuckle – which is always a good thing! Thanks for sharing!

I loved the use of the senses and I think you made the right choice not to taste anything at school. I may use this as an inspiration for a future slice. Thanks!

Love this slice and the five senses form. (I may have just tucked it into my draft file!) It is nice to take the time and write about those small things that we notice.
