All they knew was Batman, Spiderman, Superman etc. I explained to them how firefighters and policemen and EMT's were heroes that day. We made a venn diagram or super heroes verse real heroes. It was fun to hear the kids talk about some real heroes they had in their own lives. After that discussion we talked about why America is a great place to live. We made the hearts below!
