Our first lesson together is about learning the parts of our brain and what they do for us. The students enjoyed this video together and then we discussed the parts of our BRAIN.
*The credits for the video go to Mrs. Goff for sharing the information and Carlie Connor for taking the lead role!*
Prefrontal
Cortex – the boss of my brain; the wise leader
 |
| We talked about how our classroom is like our brain and the teacher is the prefrontal cortex; the wise leader works with each of us in order to create the classroom community! |
Amygdala – the emotions of my brain; the security guard
Hippocampus – the memory center of my brain; stores my memories
We also talked about some IMPORTANT rules for class lessons, home, school, sports, etc.

others.
GOLDEN RULE ~ treat others the way you want to be treated.

questions when you are curious or confused.
