This week was all about learning how to grow our brains! First graders gathered in my room to to discuss how to strengthen our brains. We watched a fun video that showed how the neurons in our brain need to be challenged in order for our brains to grow!
After watching a fun video, we decided it was time to take on a challenge in order to strengthen our brains! Students grabbed a handful of Keva planks and attempted to build a structure that they were only able to get s front, side, and top view of. It was hard, but with perseverance, several students were able to successfully build the structure!
To wrap up our time together, we watched a fun video with some of our favorite Sesame Street characters and Bruno Mars that reminded us, even when things are challenging, DON'T GIVE UP!
