In French, we are lucky enough to get to learn a whole bunch of other subjects. This includes: Drama, Visual Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Health. In Health currently, we're learning about mindfulness. In other words, we're learning about how our brain works, and how we can use that knowledge to help us learn, and help us become happier, healthier people. We began by looking at what some famous athletes have in common in their journeys to becoming more mindful people. You can see, in detail, who we looked at by clicking here. Our examples included: Steve Nash, Michael Jordan, Carli Lloyd, Simone Biles, and Michael Phelps.
These athletes talked about their sleep habits, their routines for relaxation, how they worked with their teammates, what they ate, how they calmed their brain, and much more. We compiled that information for some ideas of things that we could also do to work on being present and ready to learn or take on a challenge). You can see our brainstorm to the right. Next, we learned about what parts of our brain can help us with these tasks. Our three main focus parts are... our amygdala, our prefrontal cortex, and our hippocampus. You can see what these parts do below, or by going to the presentation under Santé in Google Classroom. Now, students are working on comic strips using Pixton, a digital comic strip creation website. Check out a few student-written examples below!
