New York Skyline

Zman was very sad on September 11th, 2001. On September 11th the World Trade Center Towers were destroyed. Two airplanes flew into the Towers. Another airplane crashed into the Pentegon, and the fourth airplane crashed in the mountains of Pennsylvania.

Many people were killed that day. Some children died that day. A lot of mothers and fathers died that day.  

Draw a picture of how you feel about September 11th.

Write your thoughts about September 11th.

Send them to zman@enabling.org.
