I have not been able to tear my eyes away from the news this weekend. It still just breaks my heart into pieces. I have, however, loved reading about the many children that were saved because of the numerous heroes.
I have definitely hugged and loved on my own children tighter this weekend and I know that I will be hugging each and every one of my students today as well.
I created this booklet to have on hand just in case the topic comes up. {If it does not, I may not do this activity.}
You can download this booklet for free at my TpT store.


Thanks for sharing this! I have it in my lesson plans to be used during our class meeting today. If the CT events don't come up, then I will keep it very general.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I also posted about my plans to talk with my 5th graders. I know the older kids will have a certain amount info. Such a tough topic to prepare for.

Hi Jodi - That was so sweet of you to create this for other teachers. I haven't been able to get it off my mind. Today our school had a lock down drill - our first one. So sad these are necessary.
