I remember sitting in class and all of the teachers were acting really worried. The teachers woulnt tell anyone what was going on and everyone was very confused. That day my mom picked me up from school and i heard about that attacks for the first time in the car. When i heard that the WTC and the pentagon were hit by planes i was very scared and confused.
ReplyDeletei was in 2nd grade and i remember one of the teachers wispering to my teacher.My teacher gasped and left the room. About 5 minutes later she walked back in and turned te tv on. She told us what happened but it didnt seem that important to me because i didnt really understand her. Even though i didnt quite know what was going on, i still felt scared for some reason. About 45 minutes after the event happened i remember the teacher telling me my pap was waiting outside for me.I went out to my paps van.When i got in i could tell he was scared too. He was telling me how many people will probabaly die.After i got home i really didnt think much of it. Now i understand how horrible that day was.
ReplyDeleteI was in music class at saint mathews and right when we were about to start our principal came in and she was crying and she told us what happened we were all little and i didnt even kno what those builings were and then she turned on the tv and we got to watch it while it was going on and that when i got home my mom told me what happened.
ReplyDeletewhat do I remember aout the events of 9/11/01. I remember I was back in first grade. on the color rug. I was getting ready to read A book when all the sudden. We get this annoucement the Twin towers have fallin down.So right at that moment my teacher turned on the T.v on change ten and we sat there and watched the T.v. I never felt so horrible and sad. As I was watching it.I keep watching it when they showed the towers coming down.The faces of some of those people touched my heart.Then the next thing I heard was that two Other plans crashed.and after that school day. I went home and watch the T.v so close and reliezed that some of those people had family members that died on those four planes.I felt there pain.That was a horrible day for a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteI went to school that morning like usual. I remember sitting in class playing with blocks or something like that, not quite sure, and hearing over the speaker system of the school say " the world trade center has just been hit by two planes. we are ending school early." my teachers had scared looks on their faces. all i thought was woo hoo! going home! i remember going home and seeing my moms face, she was crying and my babysitter was with her crying as well. i thought wow that sucks and went outside to play. in my mind it was no big deal, everyone would get out and no one would get hurt. i was wrong, now that i look back on it i was really stupid to think a plane could hit a building and no one get hurt.
ReplyDeletei was in the second grade and i was sitting in mrs.yoders at tyrone and we were reading books another teacher came into the room and broke the news to my teacher. after the teacher left my teacher was acting very strange but did not tell us what happened. some parents came and got their kids and very kids were left in my class when i left. my mom came and got me and explained what happened but i was too young to understand.
ReplyDeletei remember being in like the second grade in mrs.Dutrows class and us all having to sit on the rainbow checkerd rug and listening to Mrs.Dutrow tell us what happened and asking if we knew anyone who worked in the world trade center and some people said they have like an aunt or an uncle over there but basically nobody did.and then we just sat there like in silence for a little while.thats all i can remember
ReplyDeletethis incident was a very tradjic one, i was sadly struck by this information when i was informed on what went on the day of 9-11-01. i was 7ish possibly 8 at the time. i stayed home from school that day because of what happen. the terrorist who did this derserved to be excicuted from just actions alone. this was a very low act of hatetrate and dispefulness. the whole country sadly suffers from this in-just act.
ReplyDeleteI don't really remember anything that happened on 9-11-01 except that the teachers were worried and some students were crying.
ReplyDeleteI remember I was in Mrs. Eleders second grade class when an announcement came over the com-system teling all the teachers to get on tp check their emails immediately. My teach did as instructed an started to cry. we had no clue what was going on. she told us that two air planes had flown into buildings in New York City and that we wouldn't be going outside that day. I don't think that we really cared that much at first because we didn't understand how bad it really was. At the end of the day I remember going home on the bus to my Grandmothers and when I got into the door she was watching the TV and crying. I aksed what was wrong but she couldn't answer.I looked at the Tv to see a reply of people jumping out of the buildings earlier that day, and that will be forever engraved into my mind.
ReplyDeleteAt the time of the 9-11 attacks, I remember coming in from recess, and our teacher wasn't making us do work. Instead, she had turned on the tv and had all the students quiet down so that we could hear what had happened. Most of the kids awhed and gasped, even though most of us really didnt know what the 9-11 attacks had meant
ReplyDeletei was in second grade at the time that 9/11, happened. All i can remember is that I was sitting on this rainbow carpet and all the teachers were talking amoungs us saying that there was just 2 air planes that hit the twin towers, and that they didn't know why it happened, For the rest of the day, we all just sat in fear and sadness for the people that lost their lives, or loved onew doing the attacks.
ReplyDeletewhat do i remember about the attacks. well first off when i was in school. no one was aware of what was happening. not even the teachers knew about it. i was in a small school in williamsburg. and the hours went by not knowing anything. i noticed before i got on the bus that my dad was in his car waiting for me. so i didn't have to ride the bus. when i got in the car he asked "did anyone tell you what happened and i said no" then he said the wtc was hit by planes and they were collapsing. we got home and watched the news for hours on end. learning more and more about the attacks.
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting in class making a birthday card for one of the principals with the rest of the class. Then my teacher said something and turned the TV on and started crying. When I went home that night my sister and I started to goof off because we didn't know what was going on and our parents sent us to our room.
ReplyDeleteI was in school and an announce ment came over the loudspeakers. My teacher turned on the tv and thats all we did that day was watch the news. Every news channel was lined with the tragedy and thats all we heard about that day. Also alot of parents were coming and getting there kids out of school.
ReplyDeleteWhat I remember on 9/11 is actually a weird thing to remember. I was actually there. Like I was in Rhode Island when it happened. I saw the planes crash into the towers. I could smell the burning bodies. The smoke and fire. I saw it. At that age I was like what 9? Yeah 9. That was kinda weird. Like I thought the world was coming to an end. It scarred me. My mom called me and was freaking out about what had happened and wanted to know if me and my step dad. That was something I'll never forget.
ReplyDeletehow i rember 911,whell my dad is a truck driver and he was about 20 miles away from the world trade center he just got done picking up a load and was heading home and he called me and told me to turn on the tv so i did and that is when i found out what happend.it was allover the news.
ReplyDeleteI dont really remember much about that tragic day. i do remember sitting in class and the teacher leaving the room. then she came back in and turned the tv on. it was a grousome picture of the world trade center on fire. we sat there and watched, i didnt really care though. i was 7 years old, i didnt realize how big of a deal it was. i do think we got out of school early that day but im not sure, i have a horrible memory...
ReplyDeletethe one thing that i remember about that day is that i was in 3rd grade when it happened and i remember my 3rd grade teacher crying becasue her daughter lived in new york.
ReplyDeleteI don’t remember that much about it exactly; like what class I was in or what my teacher was doing, but I do rembember it happning. I was in the third grade at tyrone emelemtry school, I do remember being with Shanna Walls and Hannah Koustoes Hannah.. All the teachers looked upset and some of them were even crying! All of us students were very confused and started asking a lot of questions, none of the teachers would tell us what was going on but parents started coming in and getting their children. I was one of the last ones to leave in my class and I was very scared I didn’t know what was going on? My dad came to pick me up and when I got in the truck he told me what had happened. He was very upset about it and so was the rest of my family, but I was too young to completely understand death.
