We made a handprint flag and talked about our country, its freedoms, and the flag's symbolism.  We also read the book, "September 12th", and talked about the events of September 11th. 

The children led a very good discussion about their feelings.  We said the pledge, discussed the soldiers fighting for our country, 
and sang a few patriotic songs.

We made patriotic necklaces to show that we care about our troops that are in the war as well as all of the families that lost someone they loved on the sad day of 9-11.  (We also learned to make a pattern in the process...red, white, blue star, red, white, blue, star, etc.)

Many of the teachers at our school had the children make these cute little patriotic headbands!  We didn't have time.  I thought they were cute though.
