We also read a book called Germs Are Not For Sharing. We discussed good habits for keeping us and others healthy. (Head's up, there's still a LOT going around--we've had staff out all week with various bugs.) If you see your child washing their hands a bit obsessively this week, I'll take the heat for that. :)
This week, we continued to talk about Habit #5, Seek first to understand, then to be understood. We spent a lot of time talking about tone of voice and HOW we say things. We role played saying the same word or phrase but in different tones of voice. The students were surprised how something so simple could change the meaning (and often the outcome) of a statement or request. I typed up the lesson that we did on the white board so you could see and maybe reinforce the concepts we discussed. (Click on the heading "Listen Up and Stay Healthy" if you can't see the visual). We talked about what senses good listeners use and essentially dissected how a message is sent in communication. Peruse at your leisure. We also read a book called Germs Are Not For Sharing.
