Oh my, I will never forget that moment. I was outside at recess with my class. Another teacher came out and told me what had happened. A quick thought came to tell everyone to come back inside. As I was trying to gather everyone another teacher started yelling out of a door to come in. At the same time the vice principal was making an announcement for everyone to come in. It was a beautiful day and it was hard to get my 6th graders to come in. I was very afraid that something was going to happen to us. They sensed that I was upset and I scolded them when we got back in about the importance of following directions promptly! We watched the news and then we started to pray! Parents (mostly government employees) were coming in and pulling their kids out.
We had early dismissal and I coudn't wait to get home to my kids. I stayed up all night watching the news. I couldn't sleep. Since then, everytime I see a plane flying low, I think and I pray.
