Kindergarten/1st grade Zones of Regulation lesson

Dear Families,

I thought it might be helpful to post some social/emotional learning ideas while students are home. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Lesson objective overview: Have students self-monitor which tools they are using and how beneficial they are.  Students will then increase their use of tools to aid in self-regulation and generalize the use of their tools to a variety of settings. 

Lesson: 

1. Have students brainstorm “tools” they can use to help with self-regulation.  These can include: Taking deep breaths, taking a walk, talking to an adult, exercising, reading, taking a break.
2. Once you have established 5-7 tools put them on a graph and have the student mark how often they used the tool.

Below is a graph example:
