Mrs. Robinson's 4th grade class created a flag to honor those who sacrificed their lives on September 11. The flag was passed around to each classroom in our building where each student signed their name as a way to say "thank you". Students submitted several designs for what our 9/11 flag should look like and through the process of democratic voting, this design was chosen. 13 red and white stripes would be accompanied by a blue rectangle displaying the message "In memory of those who sacrificed". Also on the blue rectangle are the names of 25 men and women who lost their lives on September 11. While participating in this project students used math skills to make the measurements for the flag, used their literacy skills in coming up with the flag's slogan, used technology skills in researching facts about September 11, used their creativity and art skills in coming up with a design and use cooperative learning to work together as a team.
