Forget "How was your day?" Try asking your child these probing questions instead to find out about their school day:
What was your favorite part of today?
What was the most challenging part of today?
What math game(s) did you play today?
When did you feel proud of yourself today?
What books are in your book bin?
How did you help someone today?
Tell me about three different times you used your pencil today at school.
What do you think you should do or learn more of at school?
Can you teach me something you learned today?
