Hello Parents,
Part of our social/emotional curriculum this year will be focused on the Zones of Regulation. There are four "zones" that we will be discussing:
Green - Calm, happy, focused, in control. This is where we want to be.
Yellow - Excited, nervous, anxious, upset, scared. We aren't feeling comfortable and we want to find our way back to green.
Red - Out of control, angry, terrified, overly excited. We may need some help to get back down to yellow and then green.
Blue - Tired, sad, sick. How can we help our friends who are blue feel better?
We talk about how everyone finds themselves in each of these zones at some point, what causes us to be in these zones, and if we aren't where we want to be, how we can get back to green.
Mrs. E shared an activity with us recently where we were shown a feeling and had to decide what zone it belonged in. This helps us to better identify how we are feeling, and how we can respond to these feelings.

| These are the good feelings we would like to be feeling. |
 |
| We all feel "yellow" at some time or another, and we will discuss how we can get back to green. |
 |
| What causes us to feel "red"? What can you do if you see someone in the "red" zone? |
 |
| It is ok to feel blue sometimes, but what can we do to help you feel better? |
Sincerely,
Mr. Kilham
