This week, she explored Learning and Behavior in Psychology C1000, reflecting on everyday experiences and building healthy habits.
Seeing her grow, express herself, and find meaning in little things makes my heart happy.
How we experience through our 5 senses
Sensation is how we experience the world through our five senses while
Perception is how the brain interprets those experiences.
Gaby and I may see or experience the same situations differently but that it’s ok.
Excellent! Please share this experience with the new moms in the GCN Learning Hubs. Of the 13 we have in QOZ, engage at least 4. Thanks.
In Module 1 of LEAD101, Alejandro explores the foundations of cooperative leadership and reflects on how leadership is strengthened through collaboration, shared responsibility, and a common purpose.
As Gaby worked through this learning activity, I helped her take it one step at a time. We looked at the brain diagrams together, talked about how neurons communicate, and connected what she was learning about sleep and the brain to everyday life. I encouraged her to ask questions and explain the ideas in her own words. I was there to support her, but she did the thinking and learning herself. I’m proud of her effort and curiosity.
Today, Gaby worked on the topic “How My Brain Influences My Behavior.” She created a poster explaining how the temporal lobe and hippocampus help us when we study for an exam. She showed how we take in information by reading, seeing, and hearing; how the brain helps form memories; and how we try to recall what we learned later.
I’m proud to see her learning about the brain and connecting the lesson to something familiar: , I’m supporting her as she builds her understanding and shares what she learns through the Learning Hub.
At GCN Garay Cooperative Learning Hubs, students don’t just learn information. They learn how to explore, think, create, work with others, and explain what they discover.
Wonder begins with curiosity! ☁️💡
Just as Thomas Edison believed that learning comes through curiosity, exploration, and trying new ideas, our preschoolers discovered that every cloud is an opportunity to ask questions and make observations. Together with Mom, children explored the sky, created cloud art, and experienced the joy of learning side by side—building confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of science.
The best discoveries begin with a simple question: "What do you see?" 💙🌤️
This week our preschool scientists explored the sky, discovered different cloud shapes, and learned that observing nature helps us understand the world around us.🌨️
The best masterpieces begin with a walk outdoors! 🌼🍂
Our preschool nature artists discover the beauty of the world by collecting leaves, flowers, twigs, and other natural treasures to create unique works of art. Through hands-on exploration, children develop creativity, fine motor skills, observation, language, and an appreciation for the environment.
When moms and children learn side by side, they do more than build new language skills💚
Develop curiosity about nature.
Learn to observe weather, plants, and water.
Practice early science skills.
Build language and math skills through nature exploration.
Develop environmental stewardship.
As a teen, I think the NASA app is a cool way to turn curiosity into learning! It gives us the opportunity to explore space, discover amazing images of planets and galaxies, learn about NASA missions, and see how science connects to our everyday lives.
