I do use some of the questions already, but most of the questions I wouldn't have even thought about. Making small talk especially during meals has always been really hard for me. I'm super excited to use some of the questions from that sheet!

Some of these questions I ask, but others I was pleasantly surprised made the list. Glad and grateful for this resource. I love connecting with children during meal times. I like to move around as do the children since there are no assigned seats (some do like that while others always ask me "where do I sit?" and I tell them "anywhere you want to" or "at a chair that has food").

Thank you for this vital resource.   We will utilize this during our ongoing CLASS PD trainings.  It is imperative that our teachers understand what intentional teaching is composed of, "Planning".  Your resource will enable us to plan authentic meal time conversations.

Liz, Thank you so much for this!  I am halfway through Spring CLASS observations and find that our teaching staff still struggles with asking open-ended questions, especially at lunchtime. I'm having one laminated for each of our 13 classrooms and will post in their meal/snack areas.
