IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

This morning, friends were invited to a new provocation- the human ear. Various pictures of ears were placed throughout the room and friends were invited to draw what they saw. Each time our friends our invited to do an observational drawing such as this, Mr. Henderson and I are blown away by the attention to detail. The pictures are incredible. After our drawings, we sat as a class and talked about the concept of listening. What exactly is listening? Some friends shared…

Listening is listening and listening is respecting. Miles

Not to yell, but to listen. Cariah

With someone is talking, you don’t play. Messi

Listening is listening to a friend and your mom. Cariah.

You have to listen! Makenzi

Listening to them when they are talking. Lucas

Shouting is not listening. Makenzi

I just wanted to say that’s an agreement for peace. Cariah

Listening is hearing. Mrs. Argus

We will revisit this concept tomorrow with more provocations on sound. As teacher researchers, we are wondering if giving listening and sound significant and obvious roles in the classroom will improve our communication as a class.
