The school day seems long when you are four or five and sometimes it can be difficult to remember all the things we do in a day. If we had been able to have an Open house this week, as we have in the past, we would have posted some question suggestions for you to initiate conversations with your child while they were showing you our classroom. But school conversations often happen at home so we are going to post them here as a jumping off point for those conversations to happen outside of our classroom. We are sure you will think of many others. Ask your child:
What is easy/ hard about school?
What do you like/ dislike about school?
What are you proud of?
What are you still working on?
Which book bin is your favourite? Why?
Which centre is your favourite? Why?
How are you respectful/ responsible/ safe at school?
Can you tell me more about _____?
Tell me about your friends.
Tell me about your classroom jobs.
