What I learned Nov. 5, 2012

Today I read the article "First Day In a Classroom, After a Hurricane" For Full Story Click Here. It was about what teachers are going through after the storm with their classes. While some students are responding well not all are, some are emotional, angry, antsy or just confused. The teacher told us that she would not teach anything but instead she would hear the kids stories and make the school a refuge. The school did not loose power allowing children to return on Monday and it was probably nice to get things back to normal after such a tragedy. Some kids will come strait out and tell you exactly how they feel and what happened and others are more reserved and wont talk at all, that is why it is important to do things for each individual child. I think it is terrible what happened and I hope that families are beginning to regroup.
