Today in class there was some discussion on why today is an important day in our country. Some of the children told us that they talked to their parents about what happened on September 11th, 2001. I didn't want to cross any lines as to what was appropriate to talk about in the classroom, so I let the kids lead the discussion. They told each other the basics...mostly about how two towers collapsed and bad people flew planes into buildings.
One thing I did want to tell them about was that there is something being built in New York City to replace the buildings that fell. I was able to show them a video on the computer of the new construction at the site. It was very cool!
Also on the computer I was able to show the children videos of the disappearance of the bees. We looked at bee hives that are being found empty, crops that are dying, and beekeepers that are losing their bees. The videos we watched were very interested and informative. Look for videos on YouTube that show what is happening to the bees!
