I let them get their snack, play or watch TV and once they've had a bread from school (usually at the supper table) we ask "What was the best thing about their day at schoo?". They love to tell you when they have an audience and if it hasn't been great they tell you too! We usually take turns talkig about our day-all of us! Very "Leave it to Beaver" but it works for us!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163436244177353192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-6620716166103072102009-10-03T13:06:56.520-04:002009-10-03T13:06:56.520-04:00Questions like 'Who did you sit next to at lun...Questions like 'Who did you sit next to at lunch?'

BUT I do think that what everyone else is saying about how you have to ask all of the specific questions sounds pretty right on when it comes to kids. If you get a piece of information out of him on Monday, then follow up with an update question on Tuesday. <br /><br />So glad to hear he loves school.

Then he will stop and think and say, "I didn't play with the kitchen." and then I say, "oh, yeah, today you went to the library" and he will say, "no today, we throwed up and down bean bags in the gym."<br /><br />I also ask specific prompts, who sat beside you at snack today. What station did you work at today? Did you play on the structure today? If your teacher sends home notes about the books they read, then you can ask "what did that crazy pigeon do today? Did he drive the bus again?"Quirkyteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643024366149374977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-78656203323506421642009-10-02T14:12:15.119-04:002009-10-02T14:12:15.119-04:00Jake never talked about school much.
