Learning to Listen

My son’s 1st/2nd grade class did a segment on listening this last week (this was a first for this classroom). The kids discussed what’s involved in listening and apparently concluded that it’s a “whole body” experience. They created a series of photos to illustrate this point. You might notice Mohan in the second-to-last and last photos.

"How do you Listen with you Whole Body?"
"Hear what is said"
"Look at the person"
"Wait for a turn to join in. Don’t have side conversations."
"Think about the conversation and try to join in"
"Face the person and try not to fidget too much"
"Care about what people say"
"And that's . . . Listening with your whole body."
