Greet
your child/children when they are buckled in the car. This is a good time to sing together or
inform him/her of the plans for the next little while.
·
Create
a ritual that signifies a specific time for you to talk about what happened
during the day at school—this may be in the car, over a snack, while preparing
dinner, or possibly during the winding down routine leading up to bedtime.
·
Some
Specific Questions:
o
What
was the best thing about school today?
o
Did
anything surprise you at school today?
o
Can
you show me with your hands what you did at school today?
o
What
made you happy while you were at school today?
o
What
is something you discovered at school today?
o
Did
Senora Poloche visit your class today? Spanish classes are on Thursday morning.
o
Did
you sing with Mrs. Horner today? Music classes meet each Monday morning.
o
Ask
about the classroom pets
o
Who
was your friend today?
o
How
were you a friend to someone else today?
o
Who
did you sit by at lunch or share a snack with today?
o
Did
you read a book or sing a song at school today?
We hope
this will help you engage in conversation with your child at school—often times
the question, “How as your day?” is difficult for young children to comprehend
or deal with appropriately.
Thank
you!
