How We Made Memory Bracelets

Yesterday in class we made memory bracelets to remember the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
We honored the victims of that day by remembering their bravery and courage.




Mrs. Alaniz and Ms. Bere (our student teacher) showed us how to make the bracelets.
We were all eager to make them and wear them!
First, our teacher gave us the red, white, and blue yarn.  The pieces were 2 feet long (24 inches) long.
The first step was to get a partner and make a knot at one end.


Then, we twisted it until we got to the end. 

Then we tied a knot at the end and folded it. It turned into a twisted pattern and it looked like a braid.

Then we tied it around our wrists with the help of a partner.

When we were done, we felt proud to wear our bracelets and honor our country on this important day.
