Minds+On

=**Minds On **=

To get the student focused on your class subject material, this appears to be the best method to focus the child in the direction your lesson is going to take the students. Be mindful, that this activity should only take 10minutes in total, however from my own personal experience I feel a five minutes Minds On Activity is extremely effective!!

Attached are some files created by Dr.Kay as great Minds On ideas, and the actual Theory behind a Minds On activity!
