How many times have we listened to people talk and, when they were finished, didn't know anything they said? This seems to run rampant in my classroom. Today, a sweet girl asked, "Are we doing ABC order?". I replied "No do page so and so." Later I realized that the page was where we did ABC order every week....was I listening? NO. Today I handed out beautiful new folders, purchased by "MOI", to be used in Science. I specifically said, "DO NOT write on the cover of your folder!" So what happened 15 minutes later? A young man is busily drawing all over the folder. Was he listening? NO.
So now I wonder....how many times am I listening to people but never hear a word they say?
