Thank you Stacey, I will check out my site. I installed a new way to comment, and it isn’t working.
A little slice, of teachers that were in front of their students. Sad.
Behind and in front.

@Pamela: For some reason I cannot leave a comment on your incredibly crafted post. Therefore, I’ll leave it here:
What an incredible way to pay tribute to the heroism of the educators whose names we need to remember.
Heart broken, as you are over the tragedy…

It’s been a crazy year, but a good one. Thinking back on my favorite school moments from this semester: http://ihabloespanglish.blogspot.com/2012/12/first-semester-memories.html
It was hard writing today, but the real message, at least for me, finally came through. Happy Holidays to all of you for the coming days. http://teacherdance.blogspot.com/2012/12/reflection-connection.html
Here’s my slice of life. Having a writing moment…

Reflections From Friday
http://inspire-lynn.blogspot.com/2012/12/im-quite-certain-events-of-last-friday.html
As with the rest of you, the events of Friday lay heavy in my heart. But, you have to take writing inspiration where it comes. I went home mid-morning yesterday and found a mess. But, you know how they say there are two sides to every story? Here’s ours: http://deb-day.blogspot.com/2012/12/two-sides-to-every-story.html
Also linking my initial thoughts to Friday http://deb-day.blogspot.com/2012/12/they-were-my-kids-too.html

While I’m starting to come back out of the blackness created by Friday’s events in Newtown – I wrote this piece on Sunday as a way to work through my feelings.. http://www.mariaselke.com/2012/12/shattered.html
So many feelings and emotions going on inside of me.

Life’s Treasures
http://jaanaswritingblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/lifes-treasures.html
Here is a whimsical little piece of student writing from the holiday season, shared with hopes and prayers for the children and families of Newtown, that they may one day again feel the joy of sharing these special days with their families.

Tomorrow is my mom’s eightieth birthday. This poem is a Pearl Harbor story from her family.

Like all of us who are touched by both the tragedy and the violation of an elementary school, this has been a hard week. As I made an attempt to “decorate” the other night, I found myself reflecting on life events in my own family and about the importance of people rather than things.

My attempt to put some thoughts together about Newtown:

I’ve been having a tough time expressing my thoughts in writing after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Here’s my attempt to pay tribute to one of the many courageous Sandy Hook teachers, http://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2012/12/17/showing-and-telling-kids-you-love-them-sandyhook-teachersareheroes/, using the “show, not tell” concept as a way to ground my writing.
BTW: For more stories about the incredible heroism of the teachers from Sandy Hook, check out this article, which will be printed in today’s NY Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/18/nyregion/amid-the-whiz-of-bullets-seeking-comfort-in-song.html.
