Ask your child...

Have you ever asked your student how his/her day was and you get one word answers? Use these questions to ask specific questions about the week and get him/her talking!

Questions for this past week:

  • How did your MAP tests go this past week? (we did ELA & Math)
  • Did you grow any from last spring? What was the hardest question you got?
  • 6th grade: Tell me about the assessment you did on figurative & literal language? Remind me, what's the difference between a simile & a metaphor?
  • 7th grade: I heard you had to identify your "favorite mistake" on a science test about elements and molecules - what did you pick?

Questions for this week:

  • Monday - What happened during the virtual assembly today? Any news?
  • Friday - I heard today was "Safety Day", what drills did you do today? How did they go? What classes were you in? Where did you go for the fire drill? Earthquake drill?
