This month grades 1-3 also studied Dr. Ben Carson, a gifted neurosurgeon. We watched a short clip about Dr. Carson's life called, Gifted Hands: The Story of Ben Carson. Learning that the young Ben Carson started out in school getting Ds and Fs on his report card, was an eye opener for us! He overcame his obstacles in life with the help of his mother, who pushed him to do his best. He went on to graduate top in his high school class and received a college scholarship to Yale, later becoming a cutting-edge brain surgeon.
We learned many parts of the brain and what each part is responsible for and put it all together to construct a brain hat. Here are some of us wearing our smarts now!
