Asking "How was school today?" might not get you far. Instead, ask questions like these for a better idea of how your students day went:
- "What is the coolest thing that happened? What wasn't so cool?"
- "Pretend you are the teacher. How would you describe the day?"
- "What made you laugh?"
- "What was the most creative thing you did?"
- "How were you kind or helpful today? Was anyone kind or helpful to you?"
