Hi Hillary,
I would start with the school because it is something they all have in common. From there you could connect to friends, family, and school content. I hope that helps!

I love this lesson. Since I am such a visual person and my class is composed of mostly ELL students this will be a great way to introduce metacognition. I teach kindergarten (TEACH UP) what would you suggest would be a great starting point with my little ones. Thank you in advance for your help. Hillary

What an awesome lesson. You are my kind of teacher! We do a lot with metacognition (thinking about thinking) at our school. I can't wait to dive deeper into your blog. I hope that I can learn more!

Love how the brain model shows interconnectedness and that ideas and concepts can and do relate to other ideas off topic. Great for demonstrating generalizations across topics too.

Great idea! I love that this teaches kids the concept of tying new information into something they already know. This is a great study skill for them to add to their tool kit. Bravo! Have saved this link to come back to in the future.

Love this idea - we speak to connections all the time when reading - when doing math, science, social studies...this would make the connections more visual for them. I'm willing to bet they'll keep those connections because of the class brain! Thanks for sharing.

I love this lesson! Very cool representation of how learning is connected in our brains. Love the idea that the kids revisit their learning by following the connections!
