As a Kindergarten teacher, we have to do lockdown drills at our school. These 4 and 5 yr olds have so many questions after. We have to be careful what we say, as we do not want to terrify them. Some kids are scared during these drills, while others feel like we are playing hide and seek, but as we all know they are necessary to practice. (Which in reality is VERY sad) Im sure a few of them will hear about this on the news, or overhear adults discussing this, questions and comments will come on Monday Im sure.
I just can't shut my mind off of this subject tonight. I keep seeing my kinders faces when the news reports more from Newtown.
