We also now have shared language to communicate with each other in order to make the classroom run more smoothly. For example, on the first day we read the book \"My Brain is a Racecar,\" and then we had a conversation about how so many of our brains love to stay on track and focus on one task, but how sudden noises and disruptions can make us feel like our car is spinning out of control. Since then, I have had students ask to work in a quiet space because \"their race car is off track.\" I have also been able to use this vocabulary when I have had students blurting out and calling my name for attention. All I have to say is \"my racecar is working on x,\" and suddenly the students understand the need for uninterrupted focus. \r\nThat is only one example of how these read a-louds and brain discussions has transformed my room.
