Happy September!

There's nothing more American than watching football, and especially on this important day for our country. I know we are all reliving our feelings and remembering where we were when we heard what happened 10 years ago today. I remember being in 7th grade (I know that shows how young I am) in gym class first period and a classmate mentioned something about the Pentagon. We spent the better part of the day hovering around TVs in our classrooms watching the news and thinking about those who lost their lives. I am very thankful for our heros who saved lives, risking their own, for those who needed help during this time.

I am excited for the rest of this month-- good things coming! School is going great, I love my students :)
We just finished up a week about Children Around the World and next week we are doing Sports Around the World. (i'm obviously excited!) I got some great books at the library-- including but not limited to books such as Nascar ABC's. I didn't know it existed but it's actually a really cute book! We are also going to make "gold medals" using paper plates, gold paint, and red, white, and blue crepe paper as the streamers. I tried it out last week and it turned out cute! Should be fun to see how they like it :)

That sounds really cute. Be sure to post pictures to give the rest of us ideas. :-)
