First Day Woes

The best way to get info is to ask outrageous questions. Kids will always perk up and respond to them.

It was at least a way to talk about what happened.

I need your teacher ASAP!

A lot of schools use the class notes web site - it's great. the teachers post what they did during the day. it's just a paragraph, but it's a lot better to ask "what was that book [say the name] about? did Mrs. X read it to you? Where did you sit for it? was it good?" etc... you should ask the school administration if they do. Bradley Hills does.

School can be overwhelming for a kids, especially in K. Give it a few days and your child will start talking.
