My mom learned from my teacher that I wasn't paying much attention in class, that I don't participate in discussions, and that I don't write longer writing pieces like my classmates do. She was very upset and so was I. So, she suggested to my teacher that I create a blog about what I learn every day in class. It was the perfect way for me to increase my writing and listening skills.
Before, when I came home, my mom asks me what I did in school. I usually talk about gym or fun things I did with my friends. Now, I have something to say and show about things I learned, not only to her and my teachers, but to the rest of the world. :)
Every time I come home from school, I write down what I learned in Math, Language Arts (L.A.), Science, and Social Studies. This way, I am encouraged to pay attention to the teachers so I know what I need to write at the end of the day. During the weekend, I have to type up all five days of lessons. This practice allows me to review/refresh myself of what I've learned in the past days.
The strategy took me by surprise and got me upset because it's a lot of work. But I soon got used to it and liked it. Slowly but surely I will become a kid who listens in class and most importantly, participates as well. I'm determined to!
