Thank you!

Wow! Thank you so much for the amazing turnout tonight. It was so great seeing parent faces to match the names of my outstanding students.
Thank you for hanging in there as I sped you through our fast paced day. Please remember that if you have questions - don't hesitate to ask.

Did you notice that our clock stopped?! Our wall clock stopped slightly before 7 so thank goodness I was watching the computer clock. I may have tried to keep you there all night.

Be on the lookout for my post of tonight's presentation. Minus the few typos that my eyes and auto-correct didn't catch. I'm looking forward to a great year!

Again, thank you for coming out and showing your support!

Best wishes!

We Remember.

In a New York classroom one year after 9-11, students composed the following 9-11 poem. 

A relative of the teacher had perished on that tragic day in Tower One of the World Trade Center. The victim left behind a 3-year-old.

List of “Don’t Forgets” and “Remembers”

We were eight.
Before September 11th, we would wake up with a list of “Don’t Forgets”
Don’t forget to wash your face
Don’t forget to brush your teeth
Don’t forget to do your homework
Don’t forget to wear your jacket
Don’t forget to clean your room
Don’t forget to take a bath


After September 11th, we wake up with a list of “Remembers”
Remember to greet the sun each morning
Remember to enjoy every meal
Remember to thank your parents for their hard work
Remember to honor those who keep you safe
Remember to value each person you meet
Remember to respect other’s beliefs
Now we are nine.
