Definition Of Listen

I used to assume kids knew what "listen" meant. Wrong. Then I saw a poster that a very effective first grade teacher in our building had in her room. The poster was something to the effect of:
- Put your eyes on the person speaking.
- Put your brain on what they are saying.
- Make your hands, feet, and body sit still.
It helped the kids to know what I meant when I said, "listen." As we know, it is an active process, one that too few kids know anymore.
