They are O-U-R-S!

The events of last week have left its scars. We are moving forward but we have not forgotten. The tragedy cannot be done; Heaven has received some amazing new angels.

I am always amazed at the judgments made during this time, the things that people focus on but I choose to focus on building a better future. I do not wish to argue over whether or not teachers are heroes or just doing their job. Whether gun reform would have stopped the issue. Who or why the situation occurred. I want to simply focus on how to move forward and plan on a better tomorrow.

On my classroom website, I have information for parents that I feel is important for them to know. I included this poem and thought it would be appropriate to share this with all of you as well.

As many of you know, my classroom website is a work in progress. It is part of my thesis, that thankfully I have an extension on completion. Maybe someday it will be completely DONE! Click on the picture to download your own copy.

A student is someone's baby. For a little while we are blessed to share them with their parents. As we mourn this week, as parents and teachers bury angels returned too soon I think it is time that we come together and remember that each student is ours. A shared love and joy that will never be forgotten.
