							| Hello teachers--   Once again, a school shooting has taken place in the U.S., and of course, many are grieving over the calamity.  It touches a chord because the attack took place at an agency that serves ESL learners.   I hate to be a downer on this bright Sunday, but I just wanted to share the story with you.   UPDATED Link:   The victims hailed from the U.S., China, Vietnam,  Haiti, Pakistan, the Philippines, Iraq and Brazil.  I plan on letting my classes discuss the matter as we head into classes tomorrow.  I think they might have question or concerns about it.   : [    Brooke |  5 Apr 2009

							| I �m very sorry. I �ll pray for the victims and their families and I hope that some day our world will be able to live in peace, and violence will leave our countries, cities, villages, streets, schools, families... I am looking forward to seeing it soon. |  5 Apr 2009
