9/11 Importance
I love that you guys are talking about 9/11 in your classroom. That is something that I thought we would discuss in my classroom, however, we did not. I think that 9/11 is important to share with the children of today. It makes it a more meaningful concept because many of us where alive during this time. It is wonderful that you and your CT are able to engage kindergarten students with such a serious and tragic topic. Adults don't give children enough credit when it comes to understanding and learning about topics of this nature. Although, there are parts of this historic event that are not suitable for kindergarten children, lesson on 9/11 shouldn't be avoided. There are ways to tailor it to young children to make it appropriate, which

    I was 3 years old when the 9/11 attacks happened. At the time, I was too young to remember or to understand what was going on. When I became old enough to know what happened, I got scared because I thought that there could be another terrorist attack any day. I think that security should be a little better at checking people at airports considering the hijackers easily snuck weapons past them. All in all, I feel bad for all the families who lost loved ones. 9/11 was a tragic day in…

    1. The strong point of the movie is that it shows the parallel worlds of Lana and her uncle Paul. They both are people who try to help the world be a better place and they both end up in horrible situations in two very important cities in the United States. Lana is in Los Angeles volunteering at a Christian homeless shelter and Paul who is a Vietnam veteran tries to prevent Los Angeles from attacks just like 9/11. He suspects everyone who is of Arabic origin. They meet each other when a Pakistani gets brutally murdered. The best part of the movie is the well-assembled scenes, they are very dynamic, and that makes it that the two storylines come together so nicely. The Paul’s character is very tragic, he has suffered so much trauma in his life,…

Some may disagree and say that the government is going down hill, and that the people in office are going to ruin this country, but they have nothing to complain about because the are allowed to speak their mind in the US, unlike in many other countries.

    I don’t think any American can forget where they were when 9/11 happened. I was going into my history class when I learned about it. My teacher had the T.V. on even though the administration asked the teachers to turn the TV’s off. We watched it and discussed what was going on for the entire hour and a half that we were in the class. My teacher was very emotional and crying and so were some of the students. Some of the students were in shock and others were oblivious to what this meant for our country. I was emotional myself. This was such a tragic event and I didn’t think it would be an event that would affect my life the way that it did. I think I was too young at the time to truly understand the seriousness that would come out of the attacks of 9/11. This tragic event changed America in so many ways.…

    I was born in 2000. A year after I was born, 9/11 happened, and it was such a major event in our history that it changed the way we live today. Other major events that impacted my classmates and I as we grew up included: school shootings, terrorism, the Joplin Tornado, and other natural disasters, like Hurricane Harvey. School shootings have changed the way schools do lock downs. Schools are more prepared for them due to the fact that they have happened in the past. Terrorism has also affected the way we live, because of the fact that it happens so often around the world. The Joplin Tornado really affected those that lived in Missouri. I lived fairly close to Joplin when the tornado hit, and it changed a lot of people's lives.…
