The Zones

Self-regulation is a big part of Kindergarten. In order to help these students practice controlling their physical and emotional impulses, they must learn to identify what they are feeling. My Mentor Teacher and students creatively collaborated on what each emotion may look, sound, and feel like.

These zones are posted in the classroom so students are able to notify the teacher about what they may be feeling by moving their clothespin to the appropriate zone. They also collaborated on ways to help them regulate their emotions posted in the classroom.
