Today we went swimming! It was fantastic. The children had a great time jumping in the pool and showing off what they could do. While the class was there, the students who stayed back worked on their Social Studies projects with Mrs. Lauf.
When we returned from swimming we had a guest speaker in to talk about the zones of regulation. She gave the kids strategies to recognize when others are in the red zone (upset), yellow zone (goofy, energetic), or the blue zone (tired). She also gave students some strategies to help them return to the green zone (ready to learn).
Tomorrow we are going to go swimming again. The students, I'm sure, are very excited!
Question of the Day:
What video did the guest speaker show you today? What did it teach you about the Zones of Regulation?
