What's New in C2
January 5-8
How Was Your Day?
Move beyond "fine" and "nothing" by asking your child to describe his or her world. The trick is to ask about things that are specific, but still open-ended. It's also great to start the conversation with an anecdote from your own day. Try one of these conversation-starters:
- Tell me about the best part of your day.
- What was the hardest thing you had to do today?
- Did any of your classmates do anything funny?
- Tell me about what your lead learner read to your class.
- Tell me about what you read today.
- Who did you play with today? What did you play?
- What's the biggest difference between this year and last year?
- Which quiet station did you go to today? What did you do there?
- Which free exploration station did you go to today? What did you do there?
- With whom did you sit at lunch?
- Can you show me something you learned (or did) today?
- Are you working on a project right now? How's it going?
- What's something that you are looking forward to at school?
- Did you have Art, Music, Drama, or PE today? What did you do there?
