I would stress that there is no question too silly and there are no dumb questions. They can ask me in private or write it down if they are too embarrassed. Make sure to acknowledge how brave they are to ask about these things. I always tell my students if I don't know the answer to something, but that I will do my best to find out.

I save the question box for the following day so that I have the chance to sort through the questions, group like ones together, decide which I feel comfortable answering and look up appropriate responses. The others I will still read out loud, but suggest talking to a trusted adult.

Read the question, then restate it. Allow wait time, then answer factually avoiding ad libbing. If I don't know, let students know I will look into it and get back with an answer.
Acknowledge student effort.

It's important to set the tone for the type of environment and climate needed for these topics. Student should be informed that any questions are welcomed and that the information provided will be based on honesty and research if needed. They should also know that if the teacher does not possess the right answer she or he can find out and get back to them. Therefore, also explaining that any question is welcomed and that they are encouraged because some might be thinking the same question but not saying it.

# data[].attributes.body
I would review the students questions before the next class. This will give me time to prepare myself and provide students with the best possible answer. I would also use this as an opportunity to read some of the statements about what students have learned to encourage students to continue to participate.

My students are use to the class "Parking Lot" and always post questions. They can either write their name or keep it anonymous. I frequently check the board and answer questions daily.

# data[].attributes.body
I encourage students to ask questions both out loud and in the question box. For the ones in the box, I don't answer them until the next class so I can eliminate repeats and eliminate questions that are going to be answered in a future lesson. Then I research the answers for the next lesson, so I can give them the most accurate answer that I can. IF they ask something that is out of our scope, I will sometimes read the question and tell them that it is outside of the focus for fifth grade and that they need to ask a trusted adult.

# data[].attributes.body
After I answer a question, I finish with "If I didn't answer that fully or if you still don't understand, please ask again in a different way" to be sure that I answered their question.

If you are not sure of the answer or how to answer that question in the moment, be honest and tell the students you are not sure but you will find out and get back to them with that answer(s).

Take the students questions seriously and take the time to answer the question thoroughly with respect. Praise the student for the question. Say, "That's a good question." If it comes from the Q's box, say something like, "I like this question." If an unnecessary question is being asked. Identify guidelines the student can use to decide before he asks a question whether it is necessary or unnecessary. Also, one can develop a set of questions that can be used to descriminate between necessary and unnecessary questions. Create an atmosphere that is open to questions yet keeping questions appropriate and on topic.

My best tool is "The Q's Box." This is designed for staying anonymous/safe of judgment, and effective for teachers (to allow time for research on various topics).

It's important to make students feel comfortable asking questions. Remind them that the only bad questions are the ones that aren't asked. Remind them that the questions are anonymous so they don't have to feel embarrassed or ashamed of the questions. It's also important to answer them truthfully and tactfully without giving personal beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
I have had students giggle while discussing a question from others - I make sure everyone knows I take the question seriously and if someone asks, they really want to know the answer. This helps others feel more comfortable asking questions, too.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone puts an index card folded in half in the box, even if it is blank. That way no one knows who wrote a question and who did not.

I make sure everyone heard the question by repeating it, then I answer it clearly and concisely. If I don't feel ready to answer the question (maybe I am not sure of the answer or need to think about how to answer it), I tell them that I will look into it and answer it first thing during our next lesson. I ask them to remind me, because I want to be sure their question is answered. I also like the question box and giving the students the option of emailing me.

When it comes to challenging questions, I like to emphasize the importance of asking questions and highlighting that fact that if one person has a question usually more people are wondering. I like to take a few days to think on and research challenging questions.

I encourage questions during instruction. In addition, students may also email me any questions they have, they may stay at recess or write me a note on a piece of paper.  My goal is to provide an honest and respectful answer.

I like to repeat the question to make sure I have heard it correctly and give them a chance to hear their question repeated back to them.

If I don't know the answer I will tell them that I need time to research and find the answer. I like the anonymous question box.

We have to understand with this genre of questions, questions are vital to understanding.
