2nd grade lesson 2......our Cerebrum, Cerebellum and Brain Stem

Today we read the following book together"



We learned that:




The largest part of your brain is called the CEREBRUM
this part helps you THINK
there are 2 parts to the CEREBRUM……the LEFT side controls the RIGHT side of your body and the RIGHT side controls the LEFT side of your body




The second main part of your brain is called the CEREBELLUM
this part helps you BALANCE and helps your MUSCLES work together



The third main part of your brain is your BRAIN STEM
–this part connects your BRAIN to your SPINAL CORD and helps the rest of your body work

Being MINDFUL takes a lot of practice
–Let’s start with THINKING before we SPEAK
–Take a deep breath and count when you get upset
–Be calm and LISTEN
–Pay attention and focus on the TASTE of foods
–Pay attention and focus on what you SEE and SMELL
–Think about what you FEEL with your hands
