Let kids share their favorite response in class each week.
How to use it
- Explain the sheet to families at back-to-school night or in a note.
- Keep the sheet in the same folder every day so kids know where to find it.
- Print it on colored paper so kids and helpers can spot it quickly.
Watch for
Kids without support or a quiet place at home. Offer a time to finish at school.
Talk about it
- Where is a good place to work at home?
