September 11 Journals
Happy Tuesday. Once you are done writing, open up Study Island and get started there.
it is improtant that we remember this day becasue so many people died that day and it shows what terrorism did to us. Also, it shows what our country has been through.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why we had a moment was because we had to think about what happened to the hundreds of pepole who died. And to respect the people who died too.
ReplyDeleteIf i had to choose my school I had to pick my school mascot, I would pick a giant Bumble Bee becuase thats what our school colors are
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose a new school mascott it would but a chief. I would choose the chief because they took it away from Illinois last earlier this year and it made me very angry. I would like to have it because I like seeing the chief do his dance its cool. He was always a good mascott so I don't understand why they couldent have just kept it. So I really think that Chief Illiniwek should be our school mascott.
ReplyDeleteI think that it important to remember this day of 9/11 becuase it scared all of america world wide. Many people died that day and many lives were ruined because of it. It is important to remember that we are fighting becuase of the terrorists that hurt our country in so many ways, killing lots of lives that aren't needed to be killed. So in the moment of scilence we can remember everyone that diedd that day and everyone else that died fighting in the past, even though these were just innocent lives. That i why I think tghat the moment of scilence is important to do.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to remember September 11 because alot of people died that day for us. Not everyone remember that so we have to take a little bit of time to remeber those people.
ReplyDeleteOn September the 11th, I think we should remeber this day because a lot of family and friends died in buildings and on the plane. The reason why I think we had a moment of silence is to everyone know that we care about those people.
ReplyDeleteare ne w mascot would be a lion because i like lions
ReplyDeleteIf i been selected to choose a school mascot i would choose a black and gold peacock bird.i would pick a black and gold peacock bird because are colors is black and gold and a bird because at all the games when every one score they could make the bird noise and then it would get annoying so the teachers would run away
ReplyDeleteIts is important because we have to remember the ones who have lost their lives over something that happened that was unexplainable and shocking to many people around america. I also think it is important beacause they had lives. they had family members who care about them. They probably had plans for the future. So we need to respect these people who once lived.
ReplyDeleteEveryoine wants to be an hero but the ture heros are the people who died for us on this day and they are the ones who should be horned and in my eyes they desrvse so much more then they got
ReplyDeleteI think its important to have the moment of silence at 8:47 in honor to remeber the people who died at 9 11. I also think its important because that day alot of people died beacuse of the twin towers.
