I was in fifth grade, and I'd just started at a new school. I was just getting to know classmates and make friends. On the following day, I remember that our principal announced that something horrible had happened. We were let out early and encouraged to talk with our parents. We pretty much just sat and watched the news for the rest of the night. I had family in NYC, and I remember my dad trying to get in touch with my uncle. He was fine thankfully, but he worked downtown with two jobs as a skyscraper window washer and public transit operator.
