More on the game
Lots of Room 12 kids came to school upset today - and stayed that way through much of the day. The Seahawks loss in the Super Bowl yesterday was taken hard by everybody at school - staff and students. In Room 12 there were cries of "They cheated!" and "The Seahawks should have won!" and "It wasn't fair!"
We talked. We wrote. We talked some more, especially about expressing ourselves on our blogs without hurting the feelings of others. Then the kids wrote some more and posted articles here. The student entries dated 2/6 on the left side of this page will give you a good idea of the intense feelings in our classroom today. I thought the kids wrote well.
Being a huge fan, I got home from school, and I started looking around on the Internet to see if anybody else saw the game as many of my students and I did. Well, I found there are plenty of people around the country - not just from Seattle - who commented on how the Seahawks were the victims of several bad calls - which likely cost them the game.
But as several of the kids pointed out here, the game is over, and the result will not change. For anybody who is interested in reading what others said about the game, click HERE to go to a Google News search about questionable calls on the Super Bowl. Go Seahawks! See you next year in Super Bowl XXXXI!
