As many as a dozen children attending a kindergarten in the western Norwegian town of Sola may have sampled some blood that a teacher brought into class for show and tell. 
 
 According to Inger Lise Andersen, director of the Dravhaug kindergarten, the unnamed teacher had returned from a visit to the doctor, where she asked a nurse if she could have some of her blood in a vial to take with her to class. 
 
 During the children's "sharing time," the teacher reportedly brought out the vial, and poured its contents into a plate for the kids to pass around. 
 
 "The children asked if they could touch it and she allowed them," Andersen told Reuters. "Then they asked 'how do we get it off?' so she put her finger in her mouth and the children followed suit." 
 
 It's unclear how many of the 12 children in attendance actively participated in the tasting portion of the lesson, but the kindergarten has already sent the blood to be tested for HIV/AIDS and other blood-borne illnesses. 
 
 The teacher has since apologized for her actions but was terminated nonetheless.

 OSLO A Norwegian kindergarten teacher was fired this week after she brought a vial of her own blood to class and allowed children to touch and taste it, the head teacher of the kindergarten said on Friday. 
 
 The teacher in Sola, on Norway's western coast, brought in a blood sample that was taken earlier in the day and poured it on a plate for the children, aged between 3 and 6, to see. 
 
 "The children asked if they could touch it and she allowed them," Inger Lise Soemme Andersen told Reuters. "Then they asked 'how do we get it off?' so she put her finger in her mouth and the children followed suit. 
 
 "The parents are mortified, shaken and shocked." 
 
 Soemme Andersen added that the teacher, a temporary employee, had been tested for AIDS and Hepatitis B following the incident. Results of the tests are not yet in, but authorities consider the risk of transmitting any infection very low.

– A Norwegian school teacher put a new twist on show and tell by bringing a blood sample to class and letting students taste it, Gawker reports. The unnamed teacher brought a vial of her blood from a doctor's visit, and poured it on a plate for students to touch during "sharing time." The kids "asked if they could touch it and she allowed them," the school's director told Reuters. "Then they asked 'How do we get it off?' so she put her finger in her mouth and the children followed suit." The kindergarten in the Norwegian town of Sola has sent the blood in for HIV/AIDS and other testing, knowing that up to 12 children may have tasted the teacher's blood. The teacher said sorry for the odd presentation, but the school fired her anyway.
