  1. Dear Ita,

    This project is outstanding. I voice recorded a comment at the end. I learned so much from your student. I never knew the Wish School is located at the site of the Hartford Circus Fire, and I did not realize there was an annual memorial at the school. This VoiceThread was both emotionally and intellectually very powerful.

    Sincerely,

    Judy Arzt
