Read the above article entitled:
Coming to our Senses: Incorporating Brain Research into Classroom Instruction
I think that the article promotes teaching children in a classroom of trust, safety and mutual respect. Utilizing techniques that offer the child opportunities to exercise their five senses promotes the greatest achievement! Here's a few highlights worth noting:

1. Students placed in light blue, yellow, and yellow green and orange rooms increased their IQ scores by 12 pts. on avg.
2. Red raises blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration and excites brain waves. It stimulates appetite. Blue tends to lower blood pressure and pulse rate - very tranquil. Yellow is the first color that the brain distinguishes and is associated with a certain degree of stress and apprehension, yet stimulates a sense of well being and optimism and positive feelings. Overall, researchers have found that bright colors increase creativity and energy.
3. Full spectrum lighting is optimal for learning - natural light.
   
4. The hearing environment - Some kiddos prefer complete silence to learn while others prefer a busy, noisy environment.
5. Listening to music engages the whole brain.
6. Peppermint and lemon scents are known to energize the brain. Vanilla, chamomile and pine are great for calming performance jitters. Floral aromas double the speed of learning.
7. Stress harms the brain.
