Patriot Day

Today is a day that most American’s will never forget. It seems like each year this day hits closer and closer to home. 13 years ago I was in my 8th grade spanish class. 13 years later I now have my own class. Bless all the teachers who had to teach such a difficult subject to such little ones. Bless all the families who still suffer on this day. But most importantly, bless each and every hero who has fought, defended, and called for our country since that day. They are true heroes and that’s what I’ll share with my kids today. I have not forgotten. 9/11/2001. 

*This was my Facebook status from this morning.*

That’s is exactly what I did today. I spent the entire morning talking about the heroes of our country. I didn’t follow my normal schedule. Gasp, I know but I feel so strongly about this day and wanted to teach about it with the honor it deserves. We started out watching this brain pop video.
