What a great week to visit Neurology! The students developed an awareness that brains require exercise and struggling to develop new skills that contribute to brain growth. Second grade got to see and touch the brain mold. We also used white boards to illustrate the complexity of the connections of our brain. Each dot on the whiteboard represents a neuron that connects with each neuron on the other side of the paper. Second grade completed class with a brain hat in which they identified the different lobes and their function.

What a great week to visit Neurology! The students developed an awareness that brains require exercise and struggling to develop new skills contribute to brain growth. First got to see and touch the brain mold. First grade made a brain hat in which they identified the places in your brain where you see, taste and touch. The students brainstormed ways to put a large piece of newspaper on a small index card. This was a great exercise to model how the brain is capable of storing large amounts of information. This week in our study of Neurology, we got to touch a brain! All right, it was a jello brain but it was neat to get to see it. We compared the human brain to that of the snake, giraffe and whale (and more) to find out which brain weighed the most. We learned a lot of cool facts before we focused on learning about the different areas of the brain while making our brain hat. Unfortunately, my first attempt at making a brain did not work on Monday so 1st and 2nd grade GT classes will get another chance next week. Please come back to look at pictures! After learning about Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, students took a twenty four question quiz on the Ipad. The results gave percentages of each multiple intelligence based on how they answered questions. Students recorded each percentage and created a glyph. After creating a glyph and writing a self reflection, students uploaded their creation into Seesaw.
