Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

It is important to support families in helping their child learn at home in a supportive, fun and encouraging way. Open-ended questions are an important strategy to help learners "own" and reflect on their learning process. Families can not be experts on all the topics students are studying at home or on the processes and methods teachers have shared in the classroom. Open-ended questions is a helpful strategy for families to support students in building inquiry based thinking skills.
