This month we are taking our Conversation Starters from Sanford Harmony, a social-emotional teaching program that cultivates strong classroom relationships between all students.

Try including some of the following questions in your e-mail to learn something new & interesting about your e-Buddy.

• If you could choose to be anywhere in nature, (e.g., beach, mountains, icecap, desert) where would you be? Why?
• What is something that has made you laugh this week?
• Where do you like to go when you want some quiet or alone time to think?
• What job would you like to try for a day?
• Would you rather live on a space station or in a submarine? Why?
• What is your favorite meal? Who makes it, and who eats it with you?
• What is something that you think about or do that makes you happy, even when you’re feeling down?
