Pets. Everyone loves talking about pets, right? Today in my Flyers class we were talking about animals (as dictated by the beloved textbook). The topic was animals, and naturally, the topic of "What's your favourite animal?" came up. This exciting the children, and they happily started calling out animals like "dogs!" or "horses!" Then one of the girls at the front of the class burst into tears. It turns out that both her dog and horse just died, really close together. What luck!
I gave her the "It hurts, but life goes on" talk (put a little less bluntly). All that was missing was me bursting into a rendition of Circle of Life with an army of animatronic animals.
Yes, we had to keep talking about animals for the whole lesson, with potentially triggering topics.
