Dear First Grade Parents and Guardians,
This week, students are thinking about ways they can be a better learner. Here at Armstrong, everyone is taught the components of Whole Body Listening. This includes using your eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and body to ensure that all of your senses are focused on the person speaking.
Active listening involves more than utilizing these senses; it requires an individual to think about the information they see and hear. For this lesson, students are thinking about the ways their brains help them to listen and learn.
As part of this lesson, students cut out and colored brains, then wrote one way their brain helps them. They should be bringing their brains home and sharing them with you throughout this week.
As your children grow and develop, try and help them continue to think about ways they can support their brain to do its best thinking. This will hopefully help to make them a stronger student and member of our community.
Thank you for your help supporting this important lesson.
Sincerely,
David Starr
