connecticut shooting

Friday December 21 is the long speculated date that the world will end.  It also marks one week from the Newtown school shooting.  Should schools close on Friday?

A young man named John wrote a letter to his best friend, Jack.  Jack was a victim of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Our country was shocked, moved, and perhaps changed forever after the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

How do you explain the unexplainable to children? Today, parents across the country, including myself, were faced with this  -- fumbling over words while explaining the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown - located only 20 miles away from my own daughter's elementary school.
