I have spent more than half my life teaching Primary grades. In those years, I have seen more school shootings than I care to remember, two Space Shuttles explode killing everyone, the attacks on 9-11, and local events that didn't make national news, but affected me as a teacher just the same.
There are no words that I have to comfort anyone, because I can't comfort myself over yesterday's mass shooting of small children in Newtown, CT.
My sentiments exactly. Sometimes, we have to let go and let God. Monday morning I will return to my classroom.
I teach ... it is what I do.
