Reading Aloud
Reading aloud and moderate to vigorous exercise are the greatest stimulators of brain circulation and metabolism.*

Dr. Eugenius Ang, Yale Neurobiologist Cross Squat Breathing Technique improves memory, mental clarity and focus
Cross Squat Breathing Technique Stand with feet shoulder distance apart, toes pointing forward. Hold both earlobes with arms crossed Over chest, right arm on top. Do a squat going as low as you can. Breathe in through your nose. Stand up, breathe out through your mouth. Repeat 12-20x.

Communication
93% of all communication is nonverbal Develop Routines
Clocks
Play
The right movements can stimulate and activate all brain subsystems while building and opening neural pathways, enhancing ability to take in, process, and express information
GAMES
As students interact with each other, they develop their relationships and trust levels with each other, enhance communication, improve cooperation, and achieve a sense of unity.
Mirror Neurons
Neuroscientist, Marco Iacoboni (UCLA) suggests that mirror neuron systems in the human brain help us understand the actions and intentions of other people and for learning new skills by imitation.
GAMES teach how to
Plan moves by examining many possibilities
Think about consequences of action
Pay attention
Visualize future moves
Plan ahead more than one step at a time
Zoom
Stand in a circle. One person starts the game by looking left or right and says, “Zoom!”. “Zoom” is repeated in the same direction until someone puts on the brakes by saying, “Eek!”. “Eek” reverses the direction.
Brain Systems
Prefrontal cortex Anterior cingulate gyrus Deep limbic system Basal ganglia Temporal lobes Cerebellum – balance
Neurotransmitters
Dopamine
: learning, motivation, attention, movement
Serotonin
: helps keep brain activity under control, influences mood, impulsivity, anger and aggressiveness
Norepinephrine
: amplifies signals that influence attention, perception, motivation and arousal
Glutamate
: stirs up activity; is responsible for neurons firing together, wiring together
GABA
: clamps down on activity
BDNF
What makes us move is what makes us think.
Aerobic Exercise
12 minutes a day Rebalances neurotransmitters and raises BDNF Jean Blaydes
Making A Good Brain Great Dr. Daniel Amen
The best sources of stimulation for the brain are:
physical exercise
mental exercise
social bonding

Foundation Skills
Foundational skills like memorizing enable higher order thinking and deeper insight because they free students from having to use cognitive processing capacity in more basic calculations . The more proficient you are at lower-order skills, the more proficient your become at higher order skills.

Play Station Nation
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he look’d upon, that object he became, And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day, Or for many years or stretching cycles of years.
Walt Whitman
Apprenticeships
What today’s students lack is practical experience.
Experience shapes the brain.
Development plays a role.

Earthing
When you are grounded, there is a transfer of free electrons from the Earth into your body. They are probably the most potent antioxidants known to man.

LEARNING
INPUT Physically building memories 1. Read, listen, watch 2. Think: ask, answer, discuss 3. Write: cognitive map to consolidate memories
Note Making
the ability to collect, organize and manage information from the text
Re-work notes and text into one “whole”.
#1 Skill for Learning
Note Making
Spend more time actively reciting and less time just re-reading.
Reciting is one of the most powerful ways to learn and remember. Constantly practice restating, repeating, putting into your own words what you’ve just learned forcing the left and right brain to work together.

Nutritionally Speaking
Diet provides the fuel for the brain to work.
Eat breakfast!
Eating protein in the first ½ hr of getting up evens out the blood sugar for the whole day.
The Crazy Makers
1821 sugar consumption averaged 10 lbs. per person per year 1993 averaged 147 lbs. sugar and 50 lbs of noncaloric sweetener 2003 174 lbs. per person per year The influence of a high sugar diet on brain chemistry:
hyperactivity, depression, inability to focus and concentrate
8 HOURS Healthy SLEEP

Sleep Cycles

Sleep
Trouble falling asleep, tossing and turning, waking and falling back asleep, getting up two, three or four times a night to urinate, being startled awake by some minor noise and other sleep problems could be indicative of a nutritional deficiency that allows susceptibility to the things that commonly wake you up or keep you awake at night. Often it is a mineral deficiency.
Salt is vital
for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic .
