It is hard to believe that since our last post so many things have happened to us. We had a hurricane called Sandy that brought down trees and flooded many of our streets and houses and left all 20 of us, including our teacher in the dark.
In addition, we had a snowstorm which closed our schools, made driving dangerous, and turned off power again. Some of us are still without power and are living with friends and relatives. Nine of us were lucky since we had generators and could keep the power and heat going in our homes. We know that we will never forget the fall of 2012!
We know and read that many schools in Long Island are still closed, and many people are still without power, heat and even food. Room 11 has been thinking of ways we can help.
We encourage those that read our blog to give us suggestions. We consider ourselves lucky to all be safe and want to show our gratitude by helping others.
In addition, we will be posting what we did when the power went off, how we felt, and what decisions our families had to make. We also encourage you to do the same by posting comments. We also want to thank all of you that commented on our first post. :)
We are so happy that we are back to school and can again feel safe!
