We loved making this brain hat (UPDATE: if that link won't work for you, try this: Go to the link here: https://ellenjmchenry.com/ and go to "Free downloads--> Human Body". Then scroll down and under "brain" you will see a link for "brain hemisphere hat." Hope that works for you!) while we talked about parts of the brain! It just shows the functions of the cortex (we covered internal structures separately) but we made it early on in the unit and referred to it often throughout. The hats were easy to make. Just print and cut out and tape together. Download is here. When we talked about the parts of the brain, we also did this activity that shows the importance of the cerebrospinal fluid, the meninges, and the skill. Also what happens when you get a concussion! :) Ooh, and while we're on the subject of brain hemispheres, you really should watch this video from The Happy Scientist of "Kneesy Earsy Nosey." First watch this from Laurel and Hardy, then watch the Happy Scientist explain why it's so hard to cross the midline! We all resolved to get good at doing this, but none of us have (yet). :) More brain structures (I told you my children liked diagrams) Wondering why my children always seem to be dressed as animals? They just . . . are. This was Junie's magnum opus. She spent an hour coloring it so neatly. I quite like it. Since the hats have since been thrown out, I promised the children I would post pictures of every single precious one. :)

Kürzlich sind wir Tante, Onkel, Cousine und Cousin geworden. Dafür haben wir einen Wickelix gebaut. Ich sage wir, weil mein Mann den kleinen Maulwurf digitalisiert und stickbar gemacht hat. Die neuen Eltern sind nämlich große Fans. Ich finde er ist total süß geworden. Außerdem habe ich statt der Verschlussbänder, die ich normalerweise annähe, eine Gummischlaufe angenäht. ich glaube das ist auch ganz cool, uns so kommt der kleine Maulwurf besser zur Geltung. Natürlich wie immer mit zwei Auflagen aus Molton.
