Sunday, September 11

 

Today is September 11th, a day I know I will never forget. It was my first year of teaching and such a tough day to navigate with students. What I remember most was simply waiting. I was on a run, listening to the radio, when the first plane hit and everyone was wondering what the heck happened. Then, another plane hit. And then, we waited. We waited as they put the pieces together and we waited for people to be rescued. It was a long time before we really understood what happened, but on that day, our world changed forever. It is interesting to try to help our own children understand this event as it is simply part of history. But we experienced it. Although, our children were not alive during this event, they have definitely lived through their fair share of life-changing events. My only advice is to talk about things, write things down and keep a journal. Our kids have experienced a lot! 

Speaking of experiences, we will see what this week brings. It looks like the temperature will be better but we will wait and see how the air quality holds up. And also hope there will not be anymore guests!! Our guest meant we could not take our staff picture. We will take our staff picture on re-take day. I will share details soon. 

Raptor: We are going to do a practice drill during PLC on Wednesday, 9/14. Between preschool and us, we have a lot to get figured out. This will allow us time to really play with it and there is less stress! Tamberlyn and I are going to coordinate before the drill and will let you know what we need you to do. Thank you!

I encourage you to share this with your families. I put it in the blog, but they actually listen you you!

Jog-A-Thon: It is time..it is coming...the event of the year... The Stoneridge Jog A Thon! Lace up your shoes and start stretching now.
