7 Days of Little Moments, Big Learning: Holiday Break Family Chats

Holiday break offers families a chance to reconnect and reflect together. The Rochester School District has created “7 Days of Little Moments, Big Learning”, a one-page family resource designed to spark meaningful conversations between parents and children during the break.

Each day includes a simple discussion prompt or activity that helps build important skills such as communication, empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and goal-setting — all without worksheets or added pressure.

These family chats are meant to fit naturally into your day and support learning beyond the classroom.

🌙🧸 Bedtime for our stuffies! Some of our fluffy friends were a little afraid of the dark tonight, so we kept the lights on to help everyone feel safe and snug. Sweet dreams, little buddies! ✨💛

🧸💛 A few of our stuffies were feeling a little homesick tonight… or maybe it was Mrs. Jerr’s singing that sent them searching for comfort! Either way, we took a quick trip to the Health Office for some extra care and cuddles. 💕😄

🍽️🧸 Dinner time in our school kitchen! Our stuffed animal guests gathered for a cozy meal tonight—and a few of them even volunteered to help serve! From handing out plates to “taste-testing” (for safety, of course 😉), they made dinnertime extra special.
