Wow, thats a touchy subject... those kids probably don't even remember.. I would make sure you run it by your supervisor first, just in case you get parents calling. Honestly, I can't think of a good way to teach that, especially to kids so young.

I know there is a childrens book about it...something like 'we knew it would be ok' or something to that effect...look on Barnes and Noble or Amazon....I never touched that subject last year because it was on a weekend...Thank goodness

The year after 9/11 I had the kids draw some kind of memorial pictures on red, white or blue squares and put them together like a quilt...

My principal actually told us to do something--just cant think of what--I heard of that book, I think it is called I Knew We Would Be Alright on September 12th--something along those lines. Anyway I think I might make a class quilt--thanks for your help :)

i am sure there is poetry out there and then they could write their own poems even as simplistic as an acrostic of some sort...

I read my class (also grade 4) New York's Bravest by Mary Pope Osbourne. It is about a firefighter who loses his life saving others. The students wrote letters and made cards for firefighters.
