A Classroom Fit: 9/11 Remembrance

9/11 Remembrance

We gathered in front of the school flag on 9/11 to remember the lives lost on 9/11. It was a beautiful ceremony that involved military, community service men and patriotic songs from the children of Emerick!

Fit

This blog has been created for the soul purpose of communicating the weekly events and learning that take place in my classroom. If you are a parent of one of my students, my hope is that you will feel more connected to your child's learning. If you are another teacher, my hope is that you will be as inspired by ideas as I am when I search the Web. If you are a student, my hope is that you will enjoy the documented memories of your learning and that they may stay with you indefinitely. I encourage you to respond to each post! However if you are a student of mine, please use only your first and last name initials.

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns:
