Boys and Girls,
We just started our first lesson of the Mind Up Program. We had a really great discussion about the importance of exercising our brains and how the structures involved in our Limbic System works. What are these structures and what did you learn about them? Also, what else did we talk about?
I was happy to learn about the Limbic system there was the amygdala
Hipppocampus and the P.F. C. I learned that the hippocampus learns and stores memories in addition the amygdala can take over if your not calming and listening to the P.F.C. Also the P.F.C. helps you learn

Thanks for sharing! I wonder what other students will write about it?
Ms. G
Now I know why some people freeze when they get scared or nervous. Thank you Ms. Gabas for teaching us about it!

You’re welcome, Alice! what happens in the brain when people get scared or nervous?
Ms. G
I think that you would fight,flight or freeze.
i know now i know why my cousin always freezes when she’s scared
You can explain to her about the limb ice system and soon you can teach her strategies to help her calm down.
Ms.g
it was realy fun learning about the human brain
I was the hippocampus it was fun thank you Ms. Gabas for teaching us the parts in your head I had fun !!!!!
Thanks for being the hippocampus! What does that structure do?
I liked learning all about the limbic system and its parts!:)
so interesting. You think your brain is small but it has so much more to it. Amazing, Interesting, Awesome, Cool. Go Brain!!!
Wonder why the amygdala stops the thoughts from going to the PFC?
Thats pretty weird isn’t it?Its wild that the hippocampus stores almost all your memorys of everything!
oops,I ment memories!:p
when people get nervous they freeze or flight? ^-^
I learned that when you get really scared your amygadala reacts if you don,t breath its really hard for your thouhgts to get to your P.F.C
That’s right! We need to train ourselves to calm down so our PFC can get the info and make a good decision.

Thanks for letting us do thhe mind up program it was fun the way you did it
How did the activities help you remember and understand how each structure functioned?
ms.G
now i know how the amygdala reacts to fright. Thank you Ms Gabas for teaching us about the brain!!!!

What happens to the amygdala?
🙂
I thought when we did the experiment with the sand and the pink water in side the bottle was interesting
Want to explain what everything in the bottle represented?
ms.g
So great to learn about how amazing your brain is and with all it does and can do how important it is to take care of it!
