Miss Geyer’s Table Talk
At-Home Activities for You and Your Second Grader
While sharing family
dinner, use these daily prompts to help initiate an educational conversation
between you and your child. Each activity focuses on a different subject and each day's prompt will be the focus of a lesson from
our classroom.
What is Table Talk?
The curriculum will be taught in the classroom, that is something that I can confirm to you. But working these concepts
into the home will be endlessly rewarding to you and your child. By
helping me work on these ideas at home, the
educational benefits of your child will certainly
show.
Why Is This So Important?

hot/cold being served and the differences of the consistency of those
foods.

Thank you so much for your participation in

for the children to reach their full potential! Us linking up in ways such as this “Table Talk” are
simple steps to better the academic achievements of the children.
