Schema
This year we have been discovering all the ways our brains can think and store a story when we read it. Additionally, we found that when we learn new things it changes our schema. This brought up a lot of conversation about our brain and what it looks like. I had a hard plastic statue of a skull with a brain in it that I passed around for the room for the kids to see. Then we discussed that when we learn something new, it slightly changes the shape of our brain. They were really fascinated by that!
