I was in the 4th grade and the teacher interrupted class to tell us.  Then she brought a TV in to let us watch the coverage.  I was also around 9 yrs old.

I remember I was 8.  My third grade teacher was called out of the class for something the next day and when she came back later that day I asked where she went.  She said she was going on the space shuttle and had to pack.  I was not amused.

If I remember correctly, we had a school assembly to watch it on TV.
