9-11-01 Third Graders' View, DE - Part One

September 11th, 2001. So long ago, yet I still remember the confusion. Since I live 2 streets over from the elementry school, I rode in the car, late again, with my mom. I walked 2 my third grade classroom, which had my teacher Mrs. Lewis. I knew nothing of what happened until the late morning, right before lunch. I saw a couple of teachers rushing down the hall w/a few kids. Apparently a couple of my fellow students did too since they questioned our teacher.

“Mrs. Lewis, what happened? Is everything okay?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you.”
