Will you check to see if I have chosen the most appropriate choice to this question?
Which would be the best way to welcome a child into the classroom in the morning when his mother drops him off?
A. "Good morning,Joshua. We have new
crayons to use later today."
B. "Good morning,Joshua. Good morning,
Mrs. Carr. Joshua, there are new
cars you might like in the block
center."
C. "Good morning,Joshua. Joshua, go on
and get started with your work."
D. "Good morning,Joshua. Good morning
Mrs. Carr. I need to speak with you
about Joshua's behavior whenever
you have a chance to meet."
I know you should greet both parents and children as they arrive to promote
a warm, comfortable atmosphere.
You should encourage talk,and set the tone for conversation.
I know you should offer children choices of possible activities.
Would (B) be the best answer?
Thanks for helping!
Yes, I think that B would be the best =)
I agree. B is the best answer.
I like B. However, if you are trying to talk to the parent without Joshua's presence, be more specific when talking to him. "Joshua, go over to the block center. There are new cars!
To determine the most appropriate choice to welcome a child into the classroom, we need to consider the criteria mentioned: greeting both parents and children, promoting a warm atmosphere, encouraging talk, and offering choices of activities.
Option A, "Good morning, Joshua. We have new crayons to use later today," is a simple and positive greeting, but it doesn't address any of the mentioned criteria.
Option B, "Good morning, Joshua. Good morning, Mrs. Carr. Joshua, there are new cars you might like in the block center," meets all the mentioned criteria. It greets both the child and the mother, promotes a warm atmosphere by acknowledging both of them, encourages talk by mentioning new cars in the block center, and offers a choice of possible activities.
Option C, "Good morning, Joshua. Joshua, go on and get started with your work," does greet the child, but it lacks warmth and encouragement for conversation and choice of activities.
Option D, "Good morning, Joshua. Good morning, Mrs. Carr. I need to speak with you about Joshua's behavior whenever you have a chance to meet," addresses both the child and the mother, but it introduces an unrelated topic of behavioral concerns. This option may not create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in the morning.
Based on the given criteria, it seems that Option B, "Good morning, Joshua. Good morning, Mrs. Carr. Joshua, there are new cars you might like in the block center," would be the best answer as it meets all the mentioned criteria.
