What questions should I ask my son about his field trip?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:My kids’ school had a list of questions to ask a kid about their day. They were open ended and were meant to ask the child about his feelings and impressions while learning. “What was the most unusual thing you learned today?” “What was the funniest thing that happened today?” “What was the most boring part of the day?” “What was the most exciting thing you saw today?” They are all variations on a theme, and can be followed up with a question about “why was that the most unusual/funny/boring/exciting ?” These questions are good from first grade all the way through high school. I asked my kids what was the funniest thing, and when they said “nothing” I would follow up with “really? You didn’t laugh all day? did you smile, or just frown all day? were you sad and crying?”
