The Science of Hugs

   During morning announcements, we heard a fun fact that was too good not to share!  Did you know scientists believe being hugged helps us stay healthy and happy?  Now, scientists add that hugging might actually make you smarter!  We decided to try it out!  We had a class hug and then took our new learning to Mr. Kearney!  We begin each Science class with a handshake, but today, we turned it into a hug!  Mr. Kearney said he felt smarter already!
   (We also had a talk about respecting other's space and strategies for asking permission to hug someone!)
