The doors to the classroom were open as usual during lunch. A 5 year old had a look of panic on his face. "I need you to close the doors," he said. The other teacher and I didn't understand at first. The doors are always opened.
It dawned on the other teacher first. "Do you think that someone is going to come in that should not?" she asked. The child nodded his head yes. "Don't worry," she answered. "We will not let anyone in that should not be in here."

Turn off the TV when a child is around. There is no reason for them to hear the news. 24 hour news coverage is just that. 24 hours of FULL coverage. If you miss a story it will be on later.
