If you get this bundle, I suggest beginning the week before September 11 with The Man Who Walked Between The Towers, teaching with Fireboat the week of September 11, and then finishing with 14 Cows for America in the following week.
If you're looking for an age-appropriate mentor text to read to 3rd, 4th, or 5th graders the week of September 11, I have several I can suggest, but this newest one has easily become a favorite.![]()

Do you know about The Survivor Tree of New York City? This Very Tree by Sean Rubin is a must-read, and I created a unit to go along with it to help you approach the sensitive subject of 9/11 as well as teach about resilience, all while covering your required ELA standards.![]()
