Important Announcements:
*Today we had a lesson about the tragic events of September 11, 2001. A wonderful discussion developed among the students. They were very inquisitive, and I am sure will be coming home with questions for you. I read them two books: The Man Who Walked between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein and September 12th: We knew everything would be all right by first-grade students of H.
