September 11th Mini-Unit and Lapbook

I wanted to spend Friday teaching my children about September 11th, 2001. Here are a few resources that I found.

~ I have a lot of red and blue file folders, we will probably work on a 1-day lapbook with the resources listed below. I think I also have flag stickers that the kids can use to decorate with

~ Fireboat unit study from HSS, this is a GREAT picture book to read to kids and share with them the events of that day

~ I printed some of these pages for coloring pages

~ I do not want to scare my kids, but I want to show them the enormity of this day. I think this video shows a good 2 minute representation and just how big this tragedy was.

~ Here is a Newsweek video of children, who are now teens, telling about their memories of 9-11

~ This site has coloring pages of the world trade center

~ This page shows a map of where the attacks took place as well as a timeline of the day

~ Enchanted Learning has several maps and pages about New York, there was a dot-to-dot of the state of NY also.

~ Here are some prayers for those affected by 9-11. I want to pray with my children on this day for the families of those who are still remembering those who lost their lives on 9-11.

~ I printed maps of the USA and will have the kids find and label the states that were attacked on 9-11.

~ From this unit I printed the USA Symbols booklet

~ From this page I printed the Pledge of Allegiance mini book for the girls to color and to remind us to say the pledge of allegiance!
