I just found this letter and thought it was appropriate to post! I know on many occasions you have talked to me about the responses you get when you ask your child about their day and here's a letter that addresses that!
Dear Parents,
When
your child responds to the questions “What did you do today?” with a
frustrating “Nothing”….remember…..
When
children come home at the end of the day,
The question they're asked as they scurry to play,
is “Tell me, what did you do today?”
The question they're asked as they scurry to play,
is “Tell me, what did you do today?”
Perhaps
nothing means I worked with clay
Or learned my shapes or counted today.
Maybe I did a listening sheet,
Or reviewed the body parts from head to feet.
Or learned my shapes or counted today.
Maybe I did a listening sheet,
Or reviewed the body parts from head to feet.
Nothing
may mean that I sang a song,
Or learned concepts like short or long.
I may have learned how to write my name,
Or gone outside to play a game.
Or learned concepts like short or long.
I may have learned how to write my name,
Or gone outside to play a game.
Maybe
this was the day for the first time
That my scissors followed a very straight line.
Maybe I said the ABC’s from beginning to end,
Or worked cooperatively with a brand new friend.
That my scissors followed a very straight line.
Maybe I said the ABC’s from beginning to end,
Or worked cooperatively with a brand new friend.
I
may have walked the balance beam and fallen off,
Or learned to cover my mouth when I cough.
Perhaps nothing means that I painted a tree,
Or wrote the numbers 1,2,3.
Or learned to cover my mouth when I cough.
Perhaps nothing means that I painted a tree,
Or wrote the numbers 1,2,3.
When
you are a child and your heart has wings,
“Nothing” can mean so many things!!

Steve Spangler is the science teacher that you always wanted to have!
I just recently found his website and I love it and I wanted to share it with you since he has so many good experiments that you can do with your children over the summer.
