Photos of 9-11 Memorial

Our friends, Paul and Carol, who went with us to see the 9-11 Memorial

The 9-11 Memorial by Kelsie

On Friday, we went to see the 9-11 Memorial. We had to walk a long way to get to the memorial. We started in upper Manhattan and went all the way to lower Manhattan. When we finally got close to the memorial, we had to go in this building to get our tickets. We didn’t have to pay, but they asked for a donation. After we got our tickets and paid the donation, we probably walked another five or six blocks. When we were pretty close, we saw that they were building a shopping mall close to the memorial. But it is probably going to take a couple of years to finish the mall. Before we went in, they asked everyone to please be quiet. Then we had to go through a lot of security. They had a lot of security there because they wanted to make sure that nobody bad got in there.

  Once we walked up there, we could see both the memorials. First, we visited the South Tower Memorial. Then we visited the North Tower Memorial. In each of the memorials, they engraved the names of all of the people who died in each of the buildings.  After that, we headed back home. It was a sad, but cool experience at the same time.

September 11, 2001 by Katie

On September, 11, 2001, there was a terrorist attack in New York City. Some men wanted to hijack some planes to hit the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and maybe the White House. So, the men got on planes. They got out of their seats and killed the pilots. They turned the planes around to New York City and toward Washington D.C. They went full speed ahead. One plane hit the South tower. Most people thought it was just an accident. Then, a few minutes later, the second plane hit the North tower. Later, another plane hit the Pentagon. Firemen went to the buildings to try to save the people, but some of the people that were on  in the twin towers started to jump from the building. Soon, the south building fell, and a few minutes later the north building fell. So, it was a sad day for the USA.

A few weeks ago, we went to the place where the World Trade Center stood. There was a fountain with all the names of the people that died. It was so cool. If you go to New York City, you need to go there. There you have it. Thank you for reading…….Katie

9-11 by Caleb

Hi, it's me Caleb. I am going to talk to you about what happened on 9-11. At first first people thought the first plane was just a bad crash, but when the second plane hit the other building, people knew it was a terrorist attack. Where the plane hit on the building, it burned. Many people died from falling or jumping out of the building because they didn't want to burn to death. The good news was that a lot of people did live. Police and firemen were brave because they ran into the buildings to save people. Not everyone was rescued, though. Then, one of the buildings fell down. People ran and ran for their lives.Then the second one fell.
I hope you like this story, even though it is very sad. I'll see you again soon. Bye.

My Invention by Katie

This week in Social Studies, we have been studying inventions. So, I will tell you what I would invent.

I would invent a robot that cleans my room and takes my dogs out. My robot would cook for my mom, too. It would give me the answers to my multiplication problems (which I know, but are still hard). My robot would be red with black lines on its head. I would make it about four feet tall. It would also have a girl’s voice, and it would also brush my brother’s teeth, and mine, too. When I’m sick, it would bring me Root Beer. I would also program it to read a book to me in the car, because I get car sick if I read.

I would also like to make robots to be sold. My robots would cost about $100,000. The best feature of my robots would be that you would only have to keep the oiled. If one did break, you would get a new one because it would have a lifetime warranty.

My Invention by Caleb

My invention is going to be a flying car, which could also go into space.  My first flying car will be blue. It will run on olive oil so that it will be nature friendly. It will have a computer built into it, too. My car will have 11 seats in it, in case your child has a play date and you have to pick up a lot of kids. Not only will it fly, it will also turn into a boat.  My flying car will have a TV in it, as well as a clock. Another neat feature would be that it could talk to you. It would also shoot lasers just in case a bad guy was there at your car. My car would also have a tracking device in it so you could find it anywhere. Thank you for reading about my invention, the flying car.

My Invention by Kelsie

This week in Social Studies, we are learning about inventions. If I could invent anything, it would be a foot massage/hand massage/nail painting/wash my hair machine. (I hate to wash my hair.) It would basically be my beauty machine. It would be my morning routine machine.  It would also be my best friend. This is how my morning routine would be with my machine: I would wake up and quickly make my bed because my bed right now is really easy to make. Then, when I get to the bathroom, my robot would have my toothbrush ready to brush my teeth. After I brushed my teeth, I would go to my room and call my robot to help me pick out my clothes for the day. They would be very fashionable clothes. Then, I would go downstairs to a wonderful breakfast. It would be delicious. Then, I would go back upstairs so it could fix my hair. It would do any hairdo I wanted. After that, it would paint finger and toenails any color I wanted with 15 second drying nail polish.  Finally, it would wish me a good day. I would push a button and it would turn off. After that, it would turn small and I would put in my drawer for tomorrow. So, that’s how my morning routine would go with my robot.
