Zones of Regulation

In Health, we are learning about the  Zones of Regulation.  Understanding what zone we are in, helps us identify our feelings and levels of alertness, so we can choose the best "tools" to self-regulate ourselves.  Today room 4, discussed "The Blue Zone" and played charade games to practice identifying how a person would feel in that zone.   Room 5 created a "Flowers and Candles" tool, which helps student practice calming breathing techniques.  Have your child describe how they rotate the card and breathe in "smelling" the flower side then flipping it over blow out the candles on the other side.   They would use it if they were in the Yellow or Red Zone, to help them calm themselves and move into the Green Zone.
