I remember where I was and what I was doing to this day. So sad. Now, ten years later I am having to explain it to a room full of 2nd graders who weren't even born when this happened. I am student teaching right now and it's one challenge I never saw I would have to deal with. How to explain tragedy on American soil to kids without scaring them. My mentor teacher doesn't even know how to approach it. Amazing how History changes things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283246730421890489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-43849257627080369442011-09-11T21:14:12.774-07:002011-09-11T21:14:12.774-07:00I'll never forget that day.

That's when I heard about it first.<br /><br />Even though I live in Canada, three of our families had dads who worked in the World Trade Center. We prayed as a staff for guidance on how and what to tell the children. We knew we had to tell them something before the rumours started flying over the lunch hour. Our principal was a marshmallow coated with a gruff exterior and we all cried as we watched him grapple for words to comfort our school community.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-48399304890803571162011-09-11T14:52:34.555-07:002011-09-11T14:52:34.555-07:00Debby, a profound post!
