  Case: Classroom talk
I have a class of first graders. There were a couple of students that their parents told them about the Boston Bombings but the rest of the students did not know about this. I was not going to say anything about it to my students. That is for the parents to talk to them about. However, these two students decided to tell the class about what had happened. What do I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to the class about the bombings. It is a current and serious event. I would not go into details with the students I would just tell them about what happened, how many people got hurt, and that the person was caught. Just the basics, and then I would tell them that if they needed to talk any more about what happened they needed to talk to their parents. I would end the conversation by telling them that we will no long be talking about the bombing in our classroom.
