ELC at George Earle Weekly Update
Mrs. Hannah taught lessons last week all about being an expert listener!
The students and Mrs. Hannah read a social story about a student learning the importance of listening.
Students learned that to be an expert listeners they should:
Keep their eyes on the speaker.
Voices are off.
Brains are thinking about what the speaker is saying.
Talk with your kiddo about what it means to be an expert listener. Ask them:

Why is it important to be an expert listener?

Practice their listening skills at home and play a game of Simon Says and give them easy directives like this....
Sit down - Pat your belly
Stand up - Touch your ears
Turn around in a circle - Do a silly dance
Jump up and down - Do a jumping jack
Hop on one foot - Smile at a friend
Clap your hands - Put both hands on your head
Touch your knees - Flap your arms like a bird
Put your arms in the air - Show me what an expert listener looks like!
