SignWriting List October 4, 2001 Cecilia, Tini and all teachers on the SW List: What a wonderful idea, Cecilia. Yes...I agree... So this is a "call for children's writing"about the terrorist attacks.... I hope other teachers and children will contribute too. With permission from the parents and schools, we can create a book and a corresponding web posting. Anything you send to me, or post to the SW List, will be public...I know both Julio and Irina have touched many lives, and if I were their parent, I would be proud that my child was contributing... I can easily add new writing at any time... So although I am working on the web posting right now, feel free to continue to send in your contributions...They will always be welcome!
