Feeling good is important for learning.
All the positive or happy feelings help us to pay attention and concentrate,
too.
Dopamine are the pieces released in our
brains that help with good feelings!
As a class, we shared what were some things that made us happy. After we shared some of those ideas, we completed the following activity together:
When you get the bottle, take a
sniff…..THINK about a time you may have smelled that SMELL before.
~ Share your memory and make a connection
*the scents in the bottles were: Peppermint, Baby Powder, Orange and Lemon*
We talked about or thought about the following things afterwards:
When you smell those HAPPY smells, do you think the dopamine is being tossed around in our brain to help with those memories?
Do you think it helps us to pay attention and learn?
