1..2..3..Smile!

I have been working on an assignment in Human Development where we need to find 5 professional journals on a topic and write one page summarizing each. I found an article in the Journal of Education and Human Development about "Humor in the Home and The Classroom: The Benefits of Laughing While we Learn." This read is fantastic and I recommend it! The site is http://www.scientificjournals.org/journals2008/articles/1268.pdf I absolutely believe that humor is the key to anything. It makes life more enjoyable when we can laugh! and I know for me, humor in the classroom and in my studying has positively affected my learning. Humor also in my home and outside have really strengthened my relationships and I want to make sure I can take my smile/laughter and remember that I am positively affecting someone :)
