On September 11th, we spent a good part of our morning circle time discussing the reason the flag was at half mast. We talked about the World Trade Center and Pentagon and the tragedy of September 11th, 2001. We also discussed how safe our country is today, and that this terrible incident will not happen again because of the security measures we have in place.
To follow up with your child, you might want to tell them how the tragic incident made you feel. Where you were when you found out. And how our country is a safe place today.
Due to the US ambassador being killed in Libia, our flag was at half mast again today, and of course our inquisitive Kinders wanted to know what bad thing happened in our world this time! So we briefly discussed this as well.
Keep an eye out for any flags at half mast when with your child. It is important for them to realize the significance of, and be inquisitive about our country.
