Reading Aloud • Reading aloud and moderate to vigorous exercise are the greatest stimulators of brain circulation and metabolism.*Dr. Ryuuta Kawashima
Literacy • Good readers grow out of good reciters • and good speakers.
Using the Mind –Body Connection Integrated One- Sided X l l
Brain Integration • Trotter integrated (dopamine) • Pacer one sided • Canter • 3 legged • Nothing
Dr. EugeniusAng, 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
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 GreatDr. 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. • Doug LemovTeach Like a Champion
Sensory Connections Vestibular Moro ATNR STNR Touch Moro Plantar Galant Auditory Moro ATNR Galant Visual Moro ATNR STNR
Moro Reflex • Startle Reflex • Open arms and legs followed by closing in the fetal position. • Deep pressure on the palms of the hands. • Whole body hugging – arms and legs.
Fear Paralysis withdrawal from touch, selective mutism, fear of separation from a loved one, clinging, aggressive or controlling behavior, craving constant attention and perfectionism.
Spinal Galant • Birthing Reflex Twisting - hula hoops; twister board
Deep Pressure • Foundation for coordinated movement. • Falling asleep • Calming down • Focusing • Sitting still
The two hemispheres of the brain need to share information through electrical impulses.
