I was in second grade, my school went into lockdown and we were told to sit on the square rainbow carpet. Kids were being called out of school nonstop and I was really confused. I sat and at animal crackers and enjoyed not doing anything because of the lockdown.
im crying, sorry
I was in 3rd grade and It happened while I was sleeping and all I remember was my mother and everyone else crying and I never really understood what happened until a few years later.
I was at my friend’s birthday party.
i was in the first grade and we sat on our square rainbow carpet and watched it on tv. i didn’t know what was happening, but i knew it was bad.
5th grade, I was in my math class and they announced what happened over the intercom and we all watched it on tv. It was so creepy, the entire school was dead quiet.
2nd grade, we gathered in the gym and watched it happen on a projection. i didn’t understand it.
i was in 4th grade. i don’t remember much at school, i think we were sent home early. i remember a boy, peter, a few grades a head of me got in trouble because he was saying things like “cool, sweet” and was laughing. but i don’t think he truly understood what was happening because he’s not very bright. but i remember going home and seeing it on the news, and actually understanding[not fully, but pretty well] what was happening. after that, i became really patriotic for a long time. i remember wondering why anyone would do this to us, just for being…us.
i was in primary 4, a million miles away from this. i remember we got sent home early and news was on every single channel.
it feels ridiculous reblogging this because i wasn’t even in the same country, but it broke my heart in two.
I can’t remember where I was, but I was in Virginia and didn’t know what was going on.
I was in the 10th grade. We were outside for guard practice that morning and didn’t find out what happened until we were on our way to second hour. I remember opening the door to Old Main and heard Adam Cox say something about the WTC. I asked Mrs. Walton who was standing there what was going on and she said to just go to class. I got to class at the other end of the building and Derrick Whitworth told me what had happened. We didn’t have a tv in that room. In third hour we listened to the radio. In fourth hour we watched it on tv. After that they didn’t allow anyone to watch what was happening.
I was in 9th grade. I knew something was going on from previous classes but they had interrupted newscasts about Shanksville,Pa and the towers and I live 2 hours from there and 3 from NYC and 1 1/2 from DC so it was so eerie. I walked into history class and my teacher was silent watching the tv and when everyone entered he said. ” I know we usually open our books and read about history but today we are going to sit quietly and watch it happen.” That was the class period that the towers fell.
