Snowflakes For Sandy Hook

Today as part of our holiday festivities we made snowflakes to send to the new Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. Students will not be returning to the former Sandy Hook, and we are helping to decorate their new school, a former abandoned middle school. It will be decorated with a winter wonderland theme when they return after the holiday break. Our snowflakes along with many other classes throughout the country, will be displayed throughout the building with a sign that indicates they were made with love by the kids in our class. Taking the time to do this was important to me, and many students needed a chance to talk about what they had heard about the terrible tragedy that happened last week. I could tell it weighed heavy on some of their minds. I'm wishing that we could do so much more to help those families.
