Depressed

[Georgie]

HW, thank you so much for your thoughts. Thank you for realizing that teachers teach much more than subjects. We teach many values and life skills. We've moved past the disapppointment phase.Now I'm dealing with 23 little nervous souls who are hearing and seeing all sorts of things and intrepretting them in their own ways. Questions about lock downs, staying overnight in school, safe rooms in homes,possible terrorist attacks like 9/11, etc., etc. I did my best to reassure them that their teachers and parents will do whatever is necessary and that the kids needn't worry about it. I did think it would be good for the kids to do something positive in support of the troops.I found "Operation Abby" where we could send e-mail messages to service people. I've no idea when or if these messages will be received, but at least we feel like we did something to help. If anyone else hears of good projects that I could do with the class, I'd love to hear about them!
