The Haxtun-Fleming Herald - What can we reason but from what we know? -Alexander Pope

Colorado State University Extension's Family and Consumer Science Department recently worked with Haxtun Elementary School's third and fourth grade students to encourage them to take a proactive approach to brain health. Recent neuroscience studies have shown that teaching children how the brain works and fostering a growth mindset can improve their motivation to learn, ability to process information and retain knowledge. Studies have also shown that engaging in art and music can promote cognitive, social, and emotional development.
