September 11th

This year on September 11th the Ploessl/Nathanson cluster (9-12 year olds) came and helped our class make a craft for Patriot Day.  Obviously my students were not even born yet on September 11, 2001 (gosh I feel old!) and with them being so young we have to be careful with how we handle this day.  We generally try and spend the day celebrating our community helpers and remember those that have given their lives for our country.

The students made American flags out of safety pins and red, white and blue beads.  They turned out really cute.  It was a wonderful learning experience for all the students.
