Take Me to your WISE Leader

Students in grades K-3 are learning about Mindfulness. We will be using a curriculum called MindUP!  This program is dedicated to helping children deepen their understanding of their own mental processes.   Students learn about three parts of the brain; the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, and the hippocampus.  The prefrontal cortex is our wise leader which helps us solve problems and make wise choices.  The amygdala is our security guards and helps us react fast when there is serious danger.  The hippocampus is our scrapbook or memory keeper.  Have your child demonstrate the parts of the brain and show you their mindful breathing.
