Yesterday, I wore one of my most favorite pairs of flats. They are the brightest red I have ever seen. They are cute and comfortable and, of course, they come from DSW (a.k.a Shoe Heaven).
Sept. 12, 2011
Our district observed remembrances for the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11th yesterday. We read The Tin Forest by Helen Ward, and watched a Reading Rainbow video about an amazing elementary school in Manhattan. The children at the school were displaced on Sept. 11th, and they received support, gifts, cards and notes of encouragement from all over the world. They eventually returned to their school. They spoke with such strength and wisdom, and their gratitude was so touching.
Then we made Memory Bracelets with red, white, and blue yarn.The students needed partners to do this activity, and they turned out really well. (The idea for this came from material our district social studies coordinator passed on to us.)
My students really enjoyed making these bracelets.
More importantly, we remembered the day in our own way.
