Makes you proud to be American

~Today we spent a great deal of time learning about what happened on September 11, 2001. For a short time we focused on the attack. We spent a great deal of time talking about what happened over the next 24 hours. What could have been America's darkest time turned into one of the greatest moment in American history. Thousands of Americans reached out and helped each other. Different races, religions, and cultural groups found their common ground as AMERICANS and showed why this country is so great. We went into detail about two of the tens of thousands who put their fellow Americans before themselves. Pablo Ortiz and Frank DeMartini were two men who worked in the World Trade Center. They repeatedly went up to rescue workers in the building who were stuck or who did not know where to go while everyone else was going down. The rescued over 70 people trapped above the 80th floor. They could have gotten out of the building before it collapsed, but instead chose to carry a woman who could not breathe. It is believed they were almost to the exit when the towers collapsed. There should be a picture of each next to hero in the dictionary. We also discussed the hundreds of fire fighters and police who lost their lives in the buildings. Years from now, hopefully history will recall more of what Americans did on September 11th instead of what was done to America.

A day that will live in infamy

Dancing like Ginger and Fred!

~In our read-a-loud, Poppy dreams of being able to dance out in the open like Ginger Rogers dances with Fred Astaire. Nobody knew who they were! We watched a few examples of them dancing as if they floated on air. To see a video of them dancing click HERE!

STAR STUDENTS

~Congratulations to Racheal and Saejin. They are this week's STAR Students. They both have awesome behavior, did all their homework and turned in all their work! We love having them in Room 71 and 73! They get the couch during work time for the week, and earned an extra $10 in their class accounts! (they look kind of plain in the picture below due to the fact that Mr. G left his camera at school. It will be posted on Tuesday!

Thank You!

~Thanks to Mrs. Hunt for bringing in treats for all the August birthdays! You rock!
