9/11/13


Today we are remembering the events of 9/11. Take time to discuss these events with your children. Go over these questions with your students.

1) Where were you when the events of 9/11 unfolded?

2) What did you think was happening?

3) How did it make you feel when the towers started falling?

4) How did you feel once more information came out?

We will be viewing a short video about the timeline of events, followed by a video of the memorial.

Then students then were given the following writing prompt about the memorial and events surrounding 9/11.
