J'AI UN CERVEAU DONC JE SUIS, JE DEVIENS ... ET J'APPRENDS!

Abstract

This perspective presents activities planned as part of the class proposed by a speech therapist, in collaboration with the teachers around a promising and innovative transdisciplinary project. The primary objective is to get children interested in the brain and its functioning, and thus make them understand the importance of managing their emotions to progress well. Positive effects were noted throughout the sessions. I noticed the spontaneous resumption of anchoring activities in the body "spaghetti toes" or relaxation by children in speech therapy situations or in the school setting. The questionnaire offered to all the children made it possible to identify their interest, to understand what they remember and to target the aspects of brain functioning that question them the most, such as memory and the circuit of emotions. I have also found that concrete and customizable supports such as the wheel of emotions or the folding brain are objects that support transfers and recall activities in situation. Children gladly refer to them and invest them heavily to the extent that they are customizable and can take them to school and / or home.
