March 11, 2011 marks a horrible day in Japan's history. While we are all still grieving over this horrific tragedy, it does seem to bring out the good in many people. People from all over the globe are donating their time and monies in recovery and clean up efforts in Japan. And most of all, it is bringing people closer to God in prayer and people are searching out ways they can help those in need. While I do not take this day lightly, I do think many lessons can come from it. Many prayers are going out to the victims of the Japan Tsunami and Earthquake.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure....is it appropriate to make a lesson plan so close to over 7,000 deaths, it seems a little callous. I have not seen lesson plans on Hurricane Katrina, or Gulf oil disasters. While this is something our children should learn about can we mourn before we simply make it so objective.
