Should I tell M's Kindergarten teacher congrats?

[ginger]

She's pregnant, but she has only told the kids.

Would it be weird to slip in a congrats email or something?

[redheadk]

Not weird! I'm sure she expects that the kids will tell you. I certainly didn't email the parents to let them know I was pg (due in the summer, so it wasn't going to affect the classroom) but it wasn't a secret or anything.

I mean, that's generally my response when I find out someone I know is knocked up.

Once a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds know, everyone is going to know. Not weird at all to send her a congrats email.

Telling kids = 20 ft tall billboard, you're cool.

Unless of course what she said was "I like babies" and the kids got it wrong in the re-telling.

I'd start it with "kid said you're pregnant! Congrats". Just in case.

Pretty sure that was her way of also telling the parents, so I would go ahead and send your congrats.

Are you 100% she is pregnant? If so, When I told my class I knew it would be public knowledge. I loved congratulations and messages of encouragement from the parents.

Yes! Tell her. If she told the kids she wanted the parents to know

If you're not 100% sure that she said the words "I am having a baby," I agree with @randomcdn's suggestion to disclaim it. I do that all the time with info I get from my very sweet but old and forgetful aunt. "Hey, Aunt Mary said you were sick / are having a baby / got a new job. Does she have that right? If so, get well soon / congrats!"

[ginger]

It's for real. She was happy to get a congrats.

My mom taught grades 1-3, she has hilarious stories. That generally end in extreme embarrassment for parents.
