Thank you to all   the families for making and sending in all the vegetables cut peeled and bagged to make it easier to make.

Oct 18 Self Regulation

The Zones of Regulation.

We use the zones to explain our feelings. Each color represents 

emotions.

Green zone 

Ready to learn 

Focused

Blue Zone 

Tired

Sad

Yellow Zone

Silly 

Worried

Red Zone 

Mad

Angry

We use strategies to help stay in the green zone.

We use breathing for the red zone. 

Here is a example of a deep breathing exercise we use.

We strive to be in the green zone but we know we have feelings that can quickly change and we move from zone to  zone.

We explained it is ok to be sad , mad or silly but you can not be in those zones for long periods of time

Oct 15-18 Thinking and Learning Math
