"I forgot" are the 3 basic tenets of what she did at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2621307 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 11:25:19 +0000 808love 2621307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start off with happy subjects like food and people. Did you sing songs? Also I ask about things she learned on tv and relate it. Like did you learn about planets if she watched a space show recently. What did you learn about ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2621072 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 22:18:11 +0000 ALV91711 2621072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS just walks in the door saying I did nothing today without me even asking. I try to ask specific questions but every answer is usually nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2621065 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 22:14:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2621065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her first day of preschool (last week) her response was "I ate graham crackers! And...., I took that from her." She has trouble sharing and tells on herself to me. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2621011 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 20:33:20 +0000 irene 2621011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instead of "what did you do today" I usually ask multiple questions, eg:<br /> - Who did you play with today?<br /> - Who is your best friend today?<br /> - What does xyz like playing with usually? Does he like playing with blocks too?<br /> - What did xyz bring for lunch today? / What did you eat for lunch? Did xyz finish his lunch? / Did you finish your lunch?<br /> - Did you have fun today?</p> <p>Usually he'd elaborate and give me better answers :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620975 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:49:40 +0000 littlebug 2620975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually he says, "Nothing." But since I glance at his daily report before I ask, I can ask more specific questions. Once I ask about something specific, he goes off on a whole story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620972 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:47:27 +0000 fancyfunction 2620972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to ask specifics but don't always get answers. She'll usually tell me about the snack though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620947 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:13:13 +0000 Teachermama 2620947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ask specific questions, "what was your favorite thing you played outside?" "What was your favorite center you went to?" "Who played with you at that center?" "Tell me about that book your teacher read." "What was your favorite food you ate at lunch?" "How did it make you feel when...?" Our teacher last yr had a website and posted photos while the kids were napping. I'd check to see what they did that day and ask specific questions about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620926 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 18:51:12 +0000 PinkElephant 2620926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 yr old (preK) DD1 is 50/50 on whether or not she'll answer specific questions ("What was for lunch?" "Did you have gym or dance today?") with real answers. She likes to tell me important facts, like "FriendA wore a green dress today!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620905 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 17:45:26 +0000 woodentulip 2620905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter (who is almost 7) gives the looooooongest answers with so much detail. I try to pay attention but after a few minutes I really just want her to wrap it up. #badmom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620904 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 17:40:27 +0000 daniellemybelle 2620904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to ask specific questions, like what was her favorite thing or what friends did she eat lunch with. </p> <p>If I just ask her how her day was, she will either say, "Great!" or "I cried for you," depending on how the day was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620893 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 17:13:56 +0000 pregnantbee 2620893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's rare that I get any actual information. If I ask specifically who he played with, he'll answer with something plausible. If I ask what his favorite part of the day was, he'll say "outside." Aka recess. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620892 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 17:11:29 +0000 MrsF 2620892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"I had a nemo yogurt". </p> <p>Well yes, I packed that for you - what else did you do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620866 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 16:28:52 +0000 Mama Bird 2620866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get "I don't know" every day. It's very frustrating because DS just started pre K at a new place, we've heard (mostly unspecified) bad things about them from parents in his old day care, and this is really not helping me figure out if we made the right call sending him there anyway, or it was a horrible mistake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620854 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 16:07:01 +0000 looch 2620854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In preschool, it literally was playing the whole time the kids were there, so I really didn't ask. He would answer that they played, or were outside.</p> <p>Now in kindergarten, I legit want to know so I ask specific questions about their scheduled specials and based on the work that came home. They worked on the letter c so I asked questions about the project, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620848 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 16:03:23 +0000 katsupgirl 2620848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She usually says "I'll tell you later". Doesn't matter if I ask specific questions sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620840 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:57:37 +0000 mediagirl 2620840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"I played" It's so annoying!! I'll ask who she played with on the playground, what book they read and what letters they are learning. Usually she tells me she forgets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620837 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:56:21 +0000 Truth Bombs 2620837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 times out of 10 I get "Played with my friends" with an annoyed look like "mom, get it together, I always play with my friends at school, why do you keep asking!?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620792 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:20:10 +0000 autumnlove 2620792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask specific questions like some of the PPs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620791 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:19:02 +0000 KT326 2620791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to ask specific questions since I know the basics of their schedule. Like what book did you read at circle time, what letter or number are you working on, who did you play with outside, what did you play with in the classroom, etc. I find that I get much better details about his day this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620790 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:18:03 +0000 OldpuebloJenn 2620790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask specific questions:<br /> Who did you sit next to at snack?<br /> Who did you play with on the playground?<br /> Did any thing make you happy? Sad?<br /> What did you notice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620786 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:15:20 +0000 yellowbird 2620786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's always "play play play play play!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620785 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:14:47 +0000 tinyperson 2620785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She answers "I don't know" to just about every question we ask, but I'll just reply that I can wait for her to think about it and she usually comes up with some sort of answer and then might jump excitedly into a story from her day 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-at-school-today#post-2620784 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:12:46 +0000 Bao 2620784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you ever get a good, full answer when asking your LO what they did at school that day? Or do you get the classic "I don't know/nothing"? </p> <p>LO sometimes says a few things she did that day, but other times it's "we read a book, that's it" ha! </p>
