We spent some time today talking about what September 11 means to our nation since the tragedies that took place 10 years ago. It is such an important part of the history of our nation. This year's students were either not born yet, or just babies when the 9/11 events occurred, so many of them only know what they've been told. They were able to see how emotional this topic was for me, as well as many Americans who were old enough to remember that tragic day 10 years ago. To show our patriotism for our country, we made a red, white and blue unity chain (paper chain) in which all of us wrote a sentence on a link telling why we are proud to be Americans. Each student also decorated a paper quilt square displaying their patriotism. Come visit the 4th grade hallway to see our class quilt!
