This week I called an audible and spent the last two days discussing 9/11 and its importance. The students have never been more engaged and were really touched by the stories, images, and videos they witnessed. Some students had very emotional responses and left my class visually shaken and in some cases in tears. I apologize that this message is coming before and not after the lesson. I was not anticipating the reactions I got from the students. If your child has any questions please try your best to answer them, and let them know I am always here to answer any questions they have as well.
here are the links to the three videos I showed to the class;
