I absolutely love being an educator so I want to share monthly things that may be helpful in the classroom/with your student. If I am able to share more I definitely will. I will also share pictures, videos, and activities that I do in my classroom. Currently, my school is I e-teaching, but I will share things that I have done in the past and whats to come!
Happy Teaching! Happy Educating! Continue to change the world.
Here are a few questions to ask your student instead of: “How was school?”
1: Who did you play with today?
2: What was the hardest thing about class today?
3: If you could change anything about your school what would it be?
4: Did you do anything nice for anyone in your class today? Did anyone do something nice for you today?
5: What did you learn new today?
6: Does everyone in your class have someone to play with during free time?
7: What was the hardest rule to follow today?
8: What class rule would you add if you could any one rule?
9: Did anyone cry in your class today?
10: If you could switch places with your teacher tomorrow and teach the class what would you teach to the class? Why do you want to teach this thing?
I hope that these questions help you engage in conversation with your student/child. These should help them to think critically and help the conversation to move past “I had a good day” … We should push our students to want to chat with us about the good and bad of their day and other details that they may not think to share!

Being an educator is great! There is nothing like it. It’s not for everyone, that’s for sure. I once heard someone say “If a child cannot learn in the way we teach, we must teach in a way a child can learn.” This really shaped the way that I teach and control my classroom. I want every child who enters my classroom to learn and to enjoy learning! Here’s to all the great teachers who put their students first.
