Discovery Newsletter

Johnson City Elementary Schools

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This year its all about the brain! Discovery students will be
using all types of intelligences: logical, spatial,
interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, kinesthetic, and
linguistic during our study of the brain and how it works.

As we began our journey down the neuropath ways we have
put on our thinking cap and identified how many lobes of
the brain exist. Next we have determined, how to protect
the brain, that sometimes its not eggceptionally easy to
build a helmet so our brain doesnt crack! Last we have
determined that our brain is unique and we all have special
thinking patterns.

Our pursuit to understand and participate in math, literature,
and science simulations will continue throughout the year
with fiction and nonfiction theme of neuroscience - YOUR
BRAIN.

Sincerely,

Jeana Hughes
