Yes, teachers could read this book out loud to a class from preschool to second grade. They can ask these questions and pause for answers. This can be used as a lesson on how to use your imagination. They can also add this to their grades 1-2 reading library.

I think teachers can use it for student interactions, but they can also use it to encourage students to develop bonds with their parents at home too.

I think teachers can use it as a way of teaching to read in class. The topics discussed in the book can also be used to teach children how to understand the messages intended from the books they read.

Oh, why not! That will be a great way to keep the children interested in the class. Reading something new and different than study books is always a great way to teach children new things. I am sure the students will find this book both entertaining and relatable!

Yes, teachers can use the book in the classroom. Besides reading it to the children, the book will inspire teachers to make the school experience exciting and memorable. That way, the children will be eager to share what they learned at school. It will also prompt teachers to inquire about the children's home life.

Oh yes, it can be used because it has lessons which can make for a little discussion and exchange of ideas between the teacher and their students,

It can be used at school as well. Any book that teaches on values can be used by teachers.

Yes, it may be employed in the classroom as an interactive reading activity for children, and it can motivate them to read if teachers read with them and discuss it. Making reading a pleasurable pastime for children is critical, especially at a young age; this book could be a useful tool for a teacher.

Yes, teachers can use " What Did You Do at School Today?" by C.C Lacavera in the classroom. Teachers can use this to not only reenforce shapes and counting but to also help give students confidence in reading aloud. The book can also provide creative ideas of what to tell their caregivers when they get picked up from school. Another way teachers could use this in their classroom is to create a discussion with students to summarize what they did in class and learned throughout the day. The book could also help students tap into their creativity for a project to create their own adventure and rhyme scheme. In conclusion, "What Did You Do at School Today?" can be used in multiple ways in a classroom by teachers.

I think so, yess. Teachers can read this book outloud to kids. Ask these questions and take answers from the children.

I love the question and I want to think if teachers should consider at least making the question of the title to the children. I think this could be potentially a perfect homework for children everyday: what did you do at school today? Think about it for 10minutes, realise of what you have learnt and how you interacted with others. I would use it if I was a teacher!

Of course, teachers are not supposed to be excempted from the daily routine of young children. This book would serve as a proper guide fr them.

yes, teachers can absolutely use this book in two ways: first, to keep kids interested in the lessons by reading it out loud for them. secondly, by using it to create a fun day in school that the kid won't forget.
