Exercise Your Brain
Monday (May 11): Create and play with PUZZLES and MAZES
Puzzles and Mazes stretch our brains to think about problems in new ways. This is one way to exercise our brains!

Wednesday (May 13): Cross Your Mid-line!

Being able to cross our mid-line during play and work helps our brain.
