This month, the students began learning about the Zones of Regulation. The lessons and activies are designed to help students gain skills in the area of self-regulation. The lessons and learning activites are also designed to help the students recognize when they are in the different Zones as well as learn how to use strategies to change or stay in the Zone they are in. The students will gain an increased vocabulary of emotional terms, skills in reading other people's facial expressions, perspective about how others see and react to their behavior, insight into events that trigger their behavior, calming and alerting strategies, and problem solving skills. I will be teaching students once a month during their library time. I am very excited about teaching your students about self-regulation!
