September 11th

With such young students, 9-11 is one of those sensitive topics that is better discussed in depth at home. However, with such a globally aware, bright group of students, it is hard to let the day pass unnoticed. 

We read the book shown above, which is the best book I have found to use as a discussion piece regarding 9-11 for primary students. When we finished, we had a nice discussion about patriotism and then we created an American flag craft. Students used their best handwriting to write the Pledge of Allegiance on the back.
