Over
the next few weeks, our two school counselors, Mme Bees and Mme Marcoux will be coming in to the
class to talk about a program called the Zones of Regulation. Students will
learn more about themselves and explore strategies to help them manage how they
think, feel and act.
We
will talk about four zones that help to describe how our brains and bodies feel.
We will also talk about expected and unexpected behaviours and how these
behaviours can make others feel. We will explore triggers, both those that can
make us feel happy and those that can make us upset. Finally, we will practice
using a variety of sensory tools and develop some calming strategies to help us
manage our mood and regulate our behaviour.
