Ten Year Anniversary of 9/11

How lucky I am to be teaching fifth graders US History on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.  These kids were either just born or a year old when the attacks happened.  They have no recollection themselves of that day that we remember so well.  How can we forget?  And remember….“We will never forget….” became so commonly said, but still stirred our hearts because we knew.  We never would forget.  Well, these kids that were just beginning their lives when it happened, won’t remember unless we teach them.  Teach them what we thought, what we felt, and that we don’t want them to forget either.  I’m sure this day that changed history changed the course of these babies’ lives too.  Please share your comments here about how this day impacted you so we can teach them.
