Funny exam answers!

Everyone takes exams seriously. Some depend on a good result in order to achieve their goals. Others, however, are not worried or are just funny and naive. So what does someone write when he does not know the answer to the exam question. I have heard that it is best to write something, even if its wrong, than to give a blank paper back to the examiner. This, of course, is the case here, where many have not only written a funny answer but have also used their artistic skills in order to present their exam paper beautifully. 

Stupidity

It just makes you think how some people can be really stupid...I don't think I need to describe anything..Enjoy the pictures!!!

Why be traditional?

Every year we around the beginning of December we have the same conversation...Should we buy a real tree or should we decorate the fake one..And if we buy a real one will it be tall, short...

Many people have gone further than that and have applied their tastes and imagination in creating different kinds of Christmas trees using anything they have..

Maybe next year we will try something crazy..the first picture with the books is probably the best alternative for my family, since we are surrounded by thousands of books..

BRAIN FACT: Laughter Starts To Appear When A Child Is 3 to 4 Months Old

Laughter starts to appear when a child is 3 to 4 months old. Play and laughter activates the care and thinking areas of the brain.

PLAY, LAUGHTER, OUTDOORS AND HEALTHY BRAINS…. SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!

What a combination this is! I love opportunities to play, to be outdoors, and what is better than laughing?  (The only thing missing from this list of favorites for me is chocolate covered strawberries!)

Play is the way the brain learns best. When a child is using several senses, exploring, paying attention, and is trying things out in different ways, brain cells are changing and the child is learning.  The child needs to participate… not watch. The brain also needs trial and error and a lot of repetition in fun and interesting ways. All of this is provided through play.

Play also provides the opportunity to learn to get along with other people. When children play with parents or other children a lot is learned about how relationships work. In addition, playing with others can lead to laughter.

Laughter is wonderful for the brain.  Play and laughter activates the care and thinking areas of the brain. Laughing lightens our mood through reducing the level of stress hormones affecting our brains.  It provides a physical and emotional release. Laughter can also lead to creating closer connections with other people. Laughter is also contagious so we can share this beneficial brain activity with others when we are laughing. Just watch the clip from a previous blog and see if it makes you laugh.

Physical play additionally provides many benefits to the brain. It first of all increases the amount of oxygen to the brain. Research also indicates that safe rough and tumble play can positively influence the activity in the thinking part of the brain. Numerous studies show that providing physical activity during the school day is correlated with improved academic performance.

If play takes place outdoors there are even more advantages. As I posted yesterday, natural environments have a very positive effect on the brain.  Ironically as I am writing this blog, I received information about an article in, The Sun Chronicle entitled, Go where education’s free.

In the article, when presenting the benefits of playing outdoors, TheChildren & Nature Network is quoted as saying, “Children learn by doing. Unstructured time in a natural setting invites a child to explore, to play and to create.”

One of my recent favorite books on play is, Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul by Stuart Brown, M.D.

Your brain will love learning more about the benefits of play.

Because as I repeatedly say, brain development isn’t complicated. What young children want all adults to know is, their brain learns best through loving interaction and play!

So, have fun, get outdoors, play, and laugh together!
