PLEASE ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT HIS/HER DAY IN SCHOOL. HAVE THEM TELL YOU AT LEAST 3 THINGS THAT THEY LEARNED OR DID IN SCHOOL. DON'T LET THEM SAY "NOTHING," I KNOW MY SON USE TO TRY THAT VERY SAME WORD. ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT EACH SUBJECT OR ABOUT THE BUS TRIP TO SCHOOL, OR ABOUT A SPECIAL CLASS HE/SHE HAD THAT DAY. GETS YOUR CHILD TALKING? IN A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS HE/SHE WILL BEGIN TO TELL YOU MANY THINGS ABOUT THE DAILY SCHOOL LIFE. YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL AND WITH YOUR CHILD. THERE IS MUCH YOUR CHILD DOES AND SAYS WHEN HE/SHE IS IN SCHOOL. THERE IS SO MUCH THEY DO AND CAN BE PROUD OF IN THEIR SCHOOL LIFE.
