i was going to school and i was watching the news bc it was on and i yelled for my mom. she freaked out then my bus got there

 

[disfreak24]

i forget what i was doing, i think i was at school but i just remember my parents being really upset when i got home i was really scared because it was all over the news that night.

I was in my 3rd grade class. Next thing I know I was being called out of school and my mom told me what had happened.

My 6th grade teacher lived in NY at the time and him and his kid were both trapped in wherever they were. I think his child was in a day care center and he was at school, teaching.

I hope I don't cry tomorrow. =[ Even though I didn't know anyone personally, 9/11 really gets to me.

I was in school. I live an hour away from NYC so we had to have a lock-down. We were stuck in the closet for a while. It was very scary. We were little and we had no idea what was going on.

I honestly don't remember and my 8th grade teacher last year got so pissed off that I forgot.

 

[Em&Em]

I was going to school and in the 2nd grade. I remember teachers talking about it all the time and then when I got home my Mom and sister telling me how important and scary what had happened.

I think I was only in 2d or 3d grade, so I don't remember all that much, only that I was trying to watch tv and the news was on every channel.
I didn't really get it until a few weeks later.
Sept. 11 is my half birthday.. eh, at least it's not my birthday.

My actual birth date was supposed to be a day or two after the 11th, but I was born in July instead.

yeah, we were having a 3rd grade assembly, and I saw some teachers gathering and talking. I was in 3rd grade, so I didnt think much
well, our teacher told us everything when we got back to class.
I was later taken out of school by my grandparents, and saw the devestation on the TV they had taken down to the office to see what was going on. . .

I was in my 6th grade science class and my teacher got a phone call from her son and she got really concerned. But she didn't tell us what happened. Then a note was slipped under the door and she explained what was going on. We were all scared. A lot of kids left early because they were scared for family members. I stayed, but I was scared walking home from school, I thought planes were gonna drop bombs on me. lol

I remember walking to school that morning and thinking how beautiful it was out too. It's so freaky. I'm always so sad on 9/11.

I live in New York and i remember i was in the second grade and alot of parents came early to pick up their kids and i didnt know why. Them my parents came to school at lunch time and they took me home. All i remember is that my mom was crying in front of the television and she told me to put a happy movie in and i put on Aladin which is kinda ironic.....

I live 2 hours from NYC, but there are no good jobs here so everyone commutes to NYC to work.

I was in the 3rd grade, it was homeroom and the announcements hadn't even come on yet. The intercom announced "Teachers, please check your email." and we know when that happens somethings up. Normally a half day, snow day, but we knew something was up. The sky that day was perfect, sunny, warm, not a cloud in the sky. It was almost like it was a dream, it seemed too good to be true.
Then our teachers told us some kids would be going home, getting picked up early because something bad happened in NYC.
Left and right the teacher got calls to send so-and-so to the office so they could go home, I was one of them. My mom picked me up, told me bad men had crashed planes into the Twin Towers, and daddy wanted me to go home. I saw the news reports, the videos, it's something that's permanently etched into my mind.

Several of my friends lost family members that day. Several of my friends had parents sent out to recover survivors. R.I.P.

I don't remember what grade I was in but I know I was young and although I live on Long Island, I didn't know what the Twin Towers were.
They didn't tell us anything in school, but a lot of people were picked up, I didn't think anything of it.
I came home walked in and saw on the news the buildings falling and my mom was folding laundry and I asked her what was going on and I don't remember what she said.

Thats why I hate thinking about it.
I still have so many images from reports and documentaries in my mind.

It hit me really hard, though, because we were there 4 days before. We went to see a baseball game in Newark, and right in the middle of the outfield, a picture perfect view of the Twin Towers.

i remember every last detail...

i was in 1st grade. it was only like the 3rd or 4th day of school. wile in class, my teacher got a call on the class phone. she sounded upset, and i thought nothing of it. a few minutes later like 10 kids got called down to the office to go home. by the end of the day only a few kids were left in my class. i was totally freeked, and i didnt know what was going on.

i had to go to after school care, because my parents wouldnt be home till 6:00. when i got to the care room, no one was in there and the lights were off. so i waited for 20 minutes and decided, they must be in the other room. they wernt. so, i went out side and sat on the steps of the school. i waited for my parents to come pick me up. when i got in the car my mom looks\ed like something was bothering her. so i asked her what was happening. she explained the whole thing to me. i was so confused, and i wasnt old enough to fully understand. that night i was so freeked, and still so confused.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

I was there 2 weeks or so before...yes, that was it, 2 weeks.

I was in...second grade? Yes. And the teachers wouldn't tell us what was going on...they said "ask your parents when you get home"...

 

[princesskelz]

i was in 4th grade. we were watching TV doing current events on todays topics. when it came up as BREAKING NEWS the teacher couldnt turn the TV off it was Hyponitising. alot of kids were crying. about 9:30 they had us all go home i was in Priviate school and there were no buses so my mom had to come pick me up. it was extreamly sad i hate tomorrow because im scared they might do it again. one of my friends that is in Boot camp now is being deployed in a few years. i have no idea what i will do that day. all those innocent lives lost is sicking that someone could do that. i hope nobody ever forgets this day that brought America together. RIP Victms of 9/11

i was in the 3rd grade in science class when our teachers told us. i remember going home and watching it on the news. also, kids were leaving school early and at first they told us it was a bus drill but then later they really told us what happened.
