Snowflakes for Sandy Hook

I can't put into words my feelings about the events that took place on Friday, December 14th.  Absolutely devastating.  So instead of writing about my feelings (that I can't put into words), I wanted to share something I found on another blog that I'm going to do with my class (without them knowing what it's for).

We are going to make coffee filter snowflakes to send to Sandy Hook to help create a 'winter wonderland' for students and staff when they return in January.  Please see the letter below and the link for the original post where I found this: I Heart Naptime

Welcome Students to a Winter Wonderland

When school resumes for Sandy Hook, it will be in a new building. Parent-volunteers are working to ensure that the students are welcomed back by a winter wonderland with the entire school decorated with as many unique snowflakes as possible. We encourage senders to be as creative as possible, remembering that no two snowflakes are alike. Please make and send snowflakes by January 12, 2013 to the Connecticut PTSA address at the end of this email.
