Welcome Back!

Welcome Back! The 2011-2012 school year is off and running. An exciting yet very busy time for any and all of us involved. I've got lots of information to share with you this year, so I hope that you will continue to follow my blog. So here we go the first post for this school year is.... (drum roll, please)......

 Remembering 9/11 this is a link to a blog maintained by World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh. They have complied a nice list of resources that can be used in your classroom to help teach about 9/11.  With this year marking the 10th anniversary you may find these resources helpful. In fact, on a side note, it just hit me the other day that those students who are now Seniors in high school were just in first grade back in 2001!  

If you get a chance you may also want to check out "Nick News With Linda Ellerbee Reports on 9/11 for Kids Too Young to Remember, in "What Happened?: The Story of September 11, 2001," Although this aired already, you may be able to catch a rerun. Geared for younger students, but definitely worth taking a look at. 

Enjoy!
