School conversations
What might you say to your friends when you see them on a Monday? After not seeing them all weekend.
How was your weekend? How are you doing?
What are two things you can do to help your family with dinner?
Set the table, help get ingredients ready, help clean up after dinner.
When someone compliments you, what should you say?
Thank you. (Maybe compliment them back.)
Your parent asks you to help clean the car, but you are tired. What should you do?
Explain to them that you are tired, but maybe if they really need help that you could still help.
You already know the topic your teacher is teaching on today, what should you do?
Keep listening and paying attention, as they may say something you didn't know about the subject.
Your mom got upset because you didn’t do the chores she asked you to do. She’s now doing them herself. What can you do?
Help her!
You did not hear what the teacher assigned for homework, what can you do?
Ask a friend or the teacher for the assignment, when the timing is appropriate.
You're doing the dishes and your favorite show comes on the TV. If you miss the show you have to wait until it comes on next week. What should you do?
Keep doing the dishes, or ask a parent if it's okay if you finish the dishes after your show.
Your teacher hands you a worksheet that you feel is too difficult for you. What should you say to her?
Ask her if she can help you with it.
You’re doing homework and begin to feel overwhelmed and frustrated. There is still so much work to do! What should you do?
Take a short break to clear your head and then ask a parent to help you.
