Your Fantastic, Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It

This colourful, engaging resource introduces elementary students to the basic anatomy of the brain, its functions, and the concept of growth mindset. It discusses the neuroplasticity of the brain including how to stretch and grow our brains and how mistakes can help us learn. Cheerful, childlike images and colour-coded images of the brain support the text. A suitable read-aloud for younger students to explore sense of self, identifying how the brain determines likes and interests, and makes each person unique, and for independent reading for intermediate students to support learning about the human body and the nervous system.
