Today we had the pleasure of having Mrs. Kehoe in our classroom again to teach the second MindUp lesson.  We reviewed the neuroscience from last class, focusing on the roles of the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex.  A poster of the concepts can be found HERE.  The focus of today's lesson was being mindful; students also used the 'lotus flower'and 'finger trace' breathing techniques to practice calming and being mindful. Ask your child to share with you these breathing techniques and the difference between mindful and unmindful.
