We know that families will have a LOT to talk about this fall. How can you help your students talk productively about their day - you might offer some specific formal prompts - like these from (that are also in multiple languages)
What are your favorite "sentence starters" to give families to support them talking about school/your class?
A favorite informal one at my house with my 4 year old - "What made you laugh today?"
Please share a rose and a thorn you encountered today.
If you could re-do today, what would you have done differently?
These are great! Thanks for sharing.
My kids are grown but I always asked them to talk about the best part and worst art of their day and how they could make it better tomorrow and also who did they help today and how/why?
Can you share the google doc document for tech issues?
What went well today? What is something that you would like to change or do different tomorrow?
What brought you joy today? What was a challenge today and how did you overcome it? What filled your balloon and what burst your balloon today? What did you hear, taste, smell, touch, today that made you smile, laugh, curious, etc. What superpower did you use today? In what ways did you help someone today? What did you learn today that you want to remember for tomorrow? Did you laugh today? What made you laugh? (Have some "dad" jokes ready, if they had a rough day. What don't you know yet that you would like to learn about tomorrow? What do you wish you would have learned today that you haven't learned yet? What do you wish your teacher knew about you? Would you rather questions such as would you rather be a puppy or a kitty, why? Would you rather be an eagle or a dolphin, etc.
