September 11th

 Today we discussed how September 11th is a sad day in American history.  We also talked about how Americans came together to support each other and ordinary people became heroes.  

Next we watched a video of the story The Fire Boat.  

You can watch the story. 

Next, we talked with our partners about who our hero is.  So many of us shared that our moms and dads are our heroes.  We also talked about who our community heroes are. We learned that heroes are all around us and that WE can be heroes too, just by showing kindness and compassion towards each other.
