WOW.... Week #12 of the BRAIN Initiative -- Are we making progress?  From the excitement I hear in the e-mails I receive it sounds like we are!!  Are you posting the fact each week? Are you e-mailing to 5 new people each week?  The kids are counting on us... and appreciate the efforts you are making!!

In honor of Screen Free Week and Earth Day I have posted a brain fact on the positive  difference playing outdoors can make! If you would like a wealth of information on the importance of play, Carol Torgan, Ph.D has put together a extremely valuable list of over 200 resources related to play. You can enjoy it here.
