This class is a combination of literature and science. In this class we will read a book about the brain. Learners will be introduced to some words to recognize and read during the story. If there is time students that are more advanced readers can have a turn reading. We will learn where our brain is and what it does. I will share my story about how I wrote and published the book Brian the Brain Head Space, and how my Outschool students were my inspiration! We will talk about how our brain is flexible and can change. Students will get to make a brain out of playdough to help them learn how the brain works. We will talk about the power of yet and how we can keep improving our brain! There will be a question and answer period at the end of the class where students will be able to ask the author questions about the book and about being an author.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about their brain, while developing a love of reading!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an Early Childhood Educator. My degree is psychology based, and I developed a fascination for the brain while I was in school. I have fostered the belief that teaching children about their brains would have a huge impact on their mindset and resiliency. Over the past year Outschool has given me the chance to put this belief in practice! I am also a writer, so when I became frustrated with the availability of books designed to teach children about the brain I decided to write my own.
