Remembering the Heroes of September 11th, 2001 **Distance Learning**

Teaching young children about the events of September 11th always seems difficult to me. I am always torn somewhere between wanting to protect their innocence and wanting to teach them about the history of our country, all of the good and the bad. I created this resource to inform students about the events of September 11th, but more importantly I wanted to focus on the positive; the heroes. I decided to focus on 6 heroes and their stories.

This file has been updated to support distance learning!

This resource includes the following:

A 3-page non-fiction reading passage about the events of 9/11 and 6 of the heroes from that day.

A PowerPoint presentation that presents the same information as the reading passage to be used in conjunction or in place of the passage. (Available in Google Slides)

4 student activities about heroes. (Available in Google Slides)
