As today marks the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in New York, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania let us pause to remember to lives lost.
As social studies educators we know that today's news will become tomorrow's history. Edutopia has a nice resource list of 5 recent historical events to discuss with students (http://www.edutopia.org/blog/recent-historical-events-student-discussion-josh-work). The first event on the list is 9/11 attacks. Edutopia also has a number of other 9/11 teaching ideas.

Rethinking Labor Day
Here are a couple of resources for teaching about Labor Day from the 2014-2015 Planing to Change the World Plan Book for Social Justice Teachers. The first link is a listing of 50 books on labor and the other is a link to a 5th grade unit on the labor movement.
