Thank you. I didn't know if it was just because of my feelings on guns. I feel like that shouldn't be in a worksheet unless they are discussing safety. Like it diminishes how dangerous they are, but I didn't know if I was being sensitive. I had my discussion with him again on the dangers and what to do if he ever came across one without an adult around.
We use words their way, which was published fairly recently. For CH words, they have a picture of a chief with headdress and all (very stereotypical). I put a piece of paper over that picture before I make copies. So even though it was recently published, I still keep an eye out for those things.
Hmmmm.... That doesn't belong on that worksheet, but I do think a five year old should be able to identify a gun. They need to know what it is so they can stay away and get an adult of they see it.
This is what I tell him to do. We were due for another conversation on it. So it was a good segue. This time I asked him what he was supposed to do if he saw a gun and he repeated that. We live in an area that is very pro-gun, so I definitely felt like I needed to prepare him for a situation like that.
But, yes, I really don't think it's appropriate to have on a worksheet and I'm glad to see I wasn't being unreasonable.

"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
