Links about talking with children about tragedies

Here are some links about talking with children about the recent shootings.  With a 1st, 2nd, and 4th grader at home, I would prefer to talk to them myself (and I have) about the shooting that took place on Friday.  However, there might be the occasional question or the topic might be brought up from some of your students.  If questions arise, you might want to check out these links on how to talk with children about tragedies and then tell the parents about what was discussed in a note home.
