Our Amazing Brain!

We began a new Science unit this week about "Our 5 Senses." We know that our 5 senses include : seeing, smelling, tasting, touching and hearing. We began by learning about our brain and how our 5 senses are connected to our brains. We looked at pictures of the brain and read different books about how our brain works.

We loved learning that our brain is about the size of both of our fists put together. We also learned that our brain is a muscle and that we all have "multiple intelligences." We practice different things to work our brain and to help it make new connections and create new ideas.


The 8 Multiple Intelligences are:

Body Smart

Group Smart

Math/Logic Smart

Music Smart

Nature Smart

Picture Smart

Self Smart

Word Smart


We made the "connection" about our brains and learning to skate. (Skating is our body intelligence). We are all learning to skate and with lots of practice we all improve. This is the same with with all of our learning! We can all get to where we want to be with hard work and practice!
