Patriot Day {Sept. 11}, Prep, and Winners

Share This:

How do you address September 11th in your classroom?  Each year, my school has a moment of silence.  It brings up a lot of questions from my little ones.  Some know what September 11th, now called Patriot Day, is all about… and others don’t.  In the best way possible, I answer their questions.  Then, we complete a little project to honor the brave men and women who were lost that day.

I updated my heart the flag {a crafitivity} file to include a couple writing pages for Patriot Day:

Both pages are also available with secondary lines.

The pack includes the heart flag craft, as well as a bonus patriotic streamer:

I usually make the streamer with my class for Sept. 11th and hang them on a clothes line across my windows.  I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on them from others 🙂  My mom-in-law is actually the one who gave me the idea for the streamer a few years ago… she teaches K!


In other news… I’m hoping to have my room “picture ready” by the end of Monday… tomorrow… so I can finally post my “big” classroom reveal!  And so I can relax and work on a little pumpkin craftivity pack that I have brewing in my mind 😉

Here are some things that I’ve been preparing to finish off my room before the reveal:

Congrats, ladies!  I’ll be emailing you shortly 🙂
