I definitely do. And it’s one our students and children should too. It’s a day that we honor and remember those we lost and those that will never fully heal. It’s a day that we honor and remember the heroes. It’s a day that we remember and are reminded that our brothers and sisters who were/are Muslim, those of Arab and South Asian descent who after 9/11, became targets of government practices that result in racial profiling and Islamophobia. No, we must not forget. We must remember, honor AND we must continuously do better.
Here are some books to help with that. Some are picture books for all ages. Some are chapter books. Here is a link to my collection of September 11th books on @epic as well.
Hello fellow teachers and friends! I began teaching in 2001. It is amazing to think that! I can't believe that I have taught so many grade levels and facilitated learning for teachers for so many years! My teaching began in South Carolina, then Virginia and the now in Georgia. My 21 years in teaching and education have taught me a lot about relationship building, authentic teaching and learning, life long learning and the importance of caring for self. I truly feel that those years upped my level of teaching in ways that I never could have imagined! My love is literacy and infusing diverse books in all we do. I am back in the classroom and I am also an Instructional Coach! I was an Instructional Coach in schools for 5 years and 2 years+ now as a consultant. I’ve written two books too! (If you would love to support there is a link in my blog) This blog is my journey. Hopefully you will stick with me!
