Daily Idea #150: Remembering 9/11

It’s been 19 years; kids entering college this year were born after 9/11/2001. Every single adult I know can remember the exact details of this day and it’s impossible to imagine that there is a world in which people don’t know what happened.

For some kids learning about the full details of 9/11 can be overwhelming. For others, they need to hear how the exact events unfolded. As a parent, it is your choice as to how to honor the memories of those killed today 19 years ago. For today’s daily idea I am honoring the heroes of September 11th, 2001.

We will be discussing what makes a hero. What characteristics does a hero have? Can a hero be strictly human or can animals be heroes as well? How can we be everyday heroes? Does a hero wear something special?

And of course— all “super heroes” need a mask and accessories for their uniform. I am attaching a sheet for you to print out so your super heroes can color in and create their own uniforms.
