Come join us as we meet with the 3rd graders at Lake Shore Elementary in Vancouver!

We did it!

We visited the home of the Seagulls!

We brought brains and art projects to share with two classes of third graders! From one of the teachers, Ms. Christine Quinn: “Students have worked on learning the major parts of the brain though focusing on the amygdala, hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. We talk a lot about how the amygdala and prefrontal cortex interact. Students know that when emotions are strong, the amygdala takes over and the prefrontal cortex can’t function properly. They have learned several ways to try and keep their amygdala “calm” so they can learn and function at school. I honestly think that anything you tell them about the brain will pique their interest. They love to learn!”
