As we move, our brain is busy making tons of new neuron connections. These connections are like highways that help with thinking, memory, and our moods. We are actually growing a better brain!
When we move, our cerebellum is hard at work helping us to move, but it's also predicting, sequencing, organizing and practicing new tasks. It also helps us to set goals and to think about whether something will work before we try it. 
There's A LOT going on in our brains when we move! 
Movement is brain exercise!]]> 2020-07-15 20:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sherrifarnan/rakethf691m3rpaf/wish/655433242 Fun Ways To Get Moving at Home and in School sherrifarnan https://padlet.com/sherrifarnan/rakethf691m3rpaf/wish/655446679 Run or have races with friends
