There are a lot of great information located around Miller Elementary on our bulletin boards. One very important topic has to do with our Zones of Regulation. Your child will be learning about self-regulation, feelings, emotions and being ready to learn this year, along with all of the other amazing things the teachers share with them!
It is our goal to embed the understanding in everything we do that all of our feelings are okay and we are allowed to have these feelings; it is also our responsibility to get our bodies and brains ready to learn each and every day.
Today (Tuesday, August 21st), I visited the classrooms and shared the following video:
We talked about the fact that we may have one feeling each day or ten; that it is okay to have all of these feelings; that each of us may have different feelings. We also talked about how to make sure our bodies and brains are ready to learn (the green zone). The students did a great job at telling me what feelings they may experience in each zone, as well as strategies/tools or ideas on how to get their body and brain back into the green zone and ready to learn!
Be sure to ask your child what they learned and talked about today! We will continue to talk about zones, feelings, and strategies/tools daily.
