Remembering 9-11

Hey, 5B Babycakes...
I want to thank everyone in class for being so repsectful and showing so much honor to the tragedy on September 11, 2001. I was overwhelmed with feelings to see so many students be touched by the video, the picture book September 12, the word/tower building and the song. I decided to put the video clip to the side of this post in case so of you wanted to share it with your parents. To view the whole thing, click the title of the video at the top of the screen. You'll also want to Pause or Stop the playlist, otherwise you'll have 2 sets of music going on at the same time.

I know some families do not allow their children to use YouTube, so I understand if you choose not to view this. However, I was extremely impressed with how serious 5B talked about and thought about the events of Sepember 11th and realize we can come back even stronger after a terribly sad event. The Power of Words in our reading and writing will remind us of this every day. I hope we all can continue to honor those people who were lost in the events of that sad day by being the best we possibly can be. Think about how our Respect Pledge will help us do that.

Hopefully, you enjoyed the great weather this weekend. Check out the list of upcoming events below to keep yourselves organized for the week (and weeks to come).
