Hi Y.,
Before having children I used to be a kindergarten teacher. My oldest daughter is now in kindergarten...it's so fun to be back in the world of kindergarten! This is such a common thing, my extremely talkative daughter even clams up when I ask her what she learned in school. One thing that helps is asking what she can teach me that she learned. Another is asking very specific things like, what song did you sing, what book did you read, what kind of art did you do? Also if it's possible, try to volunteer in the classroom. It really helps to get a feel for what they're doing on a daily basis and it will give you lots of starting points for conversations. Good luck and enjoy this very special year!
