I teach social studies at the New York City Museum School, a sixth through twelve grade public school located in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. The school is racially diverse with one third of the students recieving free or reduced-price lunch. Because we are in Chelsea, the recent events in New York have been difficult for both staff and students. We are currently housing another school in our building because they are located near ground zero and their building is being used as a command center. Many students are trying to make sense of this horrible tragedy and some become frustrated because there is no clear explanation as to why this occurred. About 20 high school students have approached me about forming a weekly study group to learn and grow together as a commmunity. Currently, we are reading news articles about the event. My proposal is for valuable teaching resources on promoting tolerance towards one another in this difficult time. The materials would greatly benefit both my social studies classes as well as this volunteer study group in trying to learn about each other and this complex world. Thank you for your consideration
