In a city that overwhelmingly supported Hillary Clinton for president, it's taking time for many voters to deal with Donald Trump's surprising victory. That's also been true for students - especially children of undocumented immigrants, who fear the new president will deport them. NY1's Lindsey Christ went to a Brooklyn school to see how students, teachers and parents are handling the election's results:

For students at the Brooklyn New School, it was difficult to adjust to the news that Donald Trump was elected president. 

"I felt kind of sad," said student Ophelia Dealva. "And I felt surprised because I thought Donald Trump was bad and most people would vote for Hillary." 

Parents and teachers say they hadn't prepared children for the outcome Wednesday morning.  

"We talk a lot about him. 'He's crazy. He's going to make this. He's going to do that,'" said parent Adriana Salzar. "I think for the kids, it's very scary."

"My little one who is in third grade woke up sort of around 2 in the morning asking what happened, and I told her, and she started to cry," said parent Gayle Forman.

The school, which serves students from all over the borough, has been taking time to discuss. 

"A lot of them were really, really tired. They had been up all night, or their parents had been up all night, so they were sort of dealing with that," said Cora Sangree, a teacher at the Brooklyn New School. "We talked about being sure to be kind to each other." 

"There was a lot of fear for kids who are close to people who may not be here legally. That came up, more than once," said Josh Hunter, a teacher at the Brooklyn New School. "We tried to talk about what a president can do and what are the things that a president can't just do by themselves and what do we do in response." 

Nancy Larsen's third-grade class wrote letters.

"Here's a letter to Ms. Clinton. 'Thank you for trying to be our first woman president. You made me courageous to try to be a president when I grow up.' And that is written by a girl in the class," Larsen said.

"Dear Mr. Trump, Congratulations. Mr. Trump, soon you will become president of the USA. Please don't make a wall so the Mexicans can't enter the USA.  A lot of people think you are a good man. A lot of people think you are a bad man. I don't know what I think, but I know you're a good man inside. I really, really, really hope you choose a good decision," Larsen also read. 

Their teacher said she had been struggling with the outcome of the election but her students' words reassured her. 

"The kids are, I don't know, they're very positive. They had a lot of feelings. But in the end, their letters are mostly very positive," Larsen said.
