Fortunately, in talking with the classroom teacher, she shared with me that the children recently read a couple of books on loss -- 'Charlotte's Web' and 'The Taste of Blackberries,' ... The children had an opportunity to discuss feelings and talk about what it meant to lose someone and to share with each other. |
It's out of sight of many adults who might possibly be around the kids or monitoring them, ... We try to keep them in the open. |
It's very difficult to begin to understand something like this, ... It's something that was not expected. In a community like this, we have never had this type of experience, so it's been very difficult for everyone. |
That's a management and organization dilemma for many teachers. Even me as a seasoned teacher, I love to have a second person in here when we are doing the hands-on (activities). |
