Laptop in Class

Today was a bit of challenge in the focus area. We had a house guest who was departing today and lets face it, that is way more exciting than focusing on lessons. They got through math without any issues but then our guest woke up.

I got them back on track for a bit by having them bring their laptops into the classroom. We went to kidshealth.org to start learning about the brain. We learned a bit about the cerebrum (85% of the brains weight and it controls voluntary muscles and reasoning-such as the ability to figure out those pesky math problems). The cerebellum (let's thank this small section for our ability to stand without falling down). The brain stem (a big thank you to the stem for controlling involuntary muscles such as the heart pumping and breathing)

Here is a pic of them engrossed in the brain.
