Week 13 at ACHS

This week we continued our unit on the brain. Students learned more about the different structures of the brain and began learning about the unique developmental stage our brain goes through during adolescence. We talked about the anatomy and functions of neurons and the process of synaptic pruning, also known as "use it or lose it". Students got to watch a PBS documentary about the brain at the end of the week. This week we also began identifying classes that students are struggling in and setting goals for the end of the semester for these classes.
