Hey girl, here are my suggestions:Since this set is fairly simple, I would love to

just add pictures of Wundt, James, Darwin, Watson, Skinner, Maslow, Rogers. You know the big ones related to history.

Also, some pictures of Legos on the game break slide would be great as this is when we will do the that exercise.

Please delete this slide when you are through making changes.
