As for Liz and myself, I was already at John T. Magee Middle School in Round Lake, Illinois, teaching my seventh graders social studies. Another teacher came down the hall between 1st and 2nd period and told me that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City.
After the second plane hit, she told me that information and I realized this was not just an accidental thing. I couldn't get the TV to work so turned on my radio and we spent the rest of the day listening and talking about what was happening. This was also the subject of the next week in class.
Liz was on a later start at Ellis Elementary School in Round Lake Beach and first heard about it at home. When she got to school, it was decided that all the teachers would not talk about it at all. She taught third grade.
All seven of my blogs today will be devoted to 9-11.
