Monday: The body team boss

Rocket kicks a ball. Raven catches it.

"Who told your foot to kick?" Raven asks.

Nova hints, "Think about the boss inside your head."

The brain is the boss

Your brain is the boss of your body.

It works even while you sleep.

Messages zip between your brain and body.

Your brain tells your muscles when to move.

Your senses report to the brain

Your eyes send seeing news to your brain.

Your ears send hearing news.

Your skin sends touch news.

Your brain helps you know what you see and hear.

All these parts work as one team!
