First Grade Conversation Starters
11.21.14
We ended our week in first grade with a fantastic trip to Imagination Stage to see 101 Dalmatians! The kids had a blast! We hope that you have a very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the break, family, friends and delicious food!
Some ideas to start conversations with your first grader might be…
*What (imaginary) souvenir did you bring home from India?
*What are your family Thanksgiving traditions?
*What special foods are you looking forward to eating on Thursday?
*What detail(s) did you add to your Writer's Workshop stories?
Have a great weekend!
