Afterwards, we came home and discussed what 9-11 is and why we remember it. Every September 11th we talk about it but with this being the first year that we are homeschooling during it I wanted to teach the girls more. We watched a short video about the planes crashing into the twin towers. We talked about the plane that crashed into the Pentagon and the brave men who fought the terrorists and helped save the White House or Capitol from having a plane crash into. We also read stories online. One explained what 9/11 is and the other told about the morning first hand. (click on the links to view the video or stories)
We made candle holders and ended our time praying for the families and people that were so devastatingly affected eleven years ago. In fact we all were affected on this day. Our country will never be the same but we stand stronger together. May God bless America.
