Daily Questions

Daily Questions are a way to build early language and literacy skills.  Children benefit from a curriculum that helps build on their prior experiences.  Daily questions help children recall information in a simple yes no question. 

Children will be talking about what happens in winter and spring.  After the discussion children will sort picture cards into winter or spring.
