I think that another characteristic of a great learner is not only participating in discussions, but also knowing how to listen intently to each other in your discussions. Good listening skills include eye contact, good body language, asking questions, restating, and assuring the talker that you are interested in what they are talking about. This is what good learners do and is something that you can do EVERYDAY. <br />What are other ways that show you are being a good listener?<br /><br />Thank you!<br />-AllyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-51972754713108367892013-10-09T12:10:28.070-07:002013-10-09T12:10:28.070-07:00Dear readers,

I take a small notebook with me to my classes and whenever I've heard something or seen something that I want to remember, I'll make a note to myself. This can be either a few sentences, one word, or a small picture. This strategy helps me to think about the things I've learned and reminds me later of what I wanted to remember!<br />What learning strategies work best for you?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Augie<br />Mr. Pahl's WWU studentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905854320067786185.post-15957636831294457432013-10-08T19:30:54.703-07:002013-10-08T19:30:54.703-07:00Dear Fourth Graders,
Have you ever started class ...Dear Fourth Graders,<br /><br />Have you ever started class with an idea about something (maybe that there is nothing inside a seed) and then, during or after a lesson in class you change your idea (maybe now you think there is a baby plant inside of seeds)? Well this is another way we can be great learners! It is a great thing to change your ideas while you are learning. That's what learning is all about! Also, it is a good learning strategy to think about how your ideas have changed. Thinking about how your ideas have changed is something called metacognition! <br />Have you ever heard of metacognition? <br />What types of ideas have you changed in your learning this week? I'd love to hear about some great learning!<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Lindsy<br />Mr. Pahl's WWU studentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
