Teacher Tips:
Getting students to dig deeper to answer questions
using higher-level thinking can be a challenge. Here
are tips to help teach kids how to solve problems by
going beyond the obvious response:
 Read a statement that has two opposing
views. Ask your child his or her opinion,
and have them explain using details.
 Ask “Why?” 5 times. Ask the first “why”
question (e.g., “Why didn’t the class do well
on the spelling test?”), and after a response
is given, ask why four more times (e.g.,
“Why didn’t students study for the test?”…
“Why didn’t students have time to study for
the test?” etc.).
Reminders:
- Complete the March Family project
(culture project). **This is a
required project, and part of
your child’s Social Studies grade.
Check with your child’s teacher for
a due date.
- Please remember to send a
brown bag lunch with your child
for our field trip on Thursday,
