Honoring Our Heroes

The anniversary of the events of Sept. 22, 2001 is this week.  I find most little ones aren't really able to comprehend these events, but I struggle to treat it like "just another day".

In the last couple of years, I have found that celebrating heroes is a good compromise.  

Come on over to Elementary Matters and find my hero freebie, and a few other ideas for honoring Sept. 11th.

American Pride Linky Party

Hi friends, 

Denise here from Sunny Days. I'm sure you remember exactly where you were on that fateful day ten years ago that changed America forever. What a dark day in American history. I have to say that I'm a bit ashamed that I never really honored that day properly in my classroom due to my own insecurity of exactly how to handle it. This year was very different. Click on the picture below to stop by the blog and see how we remembered 9/11. Be sure to add your ideas to my American Pride linky party.
