One of the Approaches to Learning (ATLs) that this unit has a focus on is Self Management Skills. In order to develop and practice their self management skills alongside expressing emotions the children learned about using the Zones of Regulation. After identifying what zone they are in they can use tools (strategies) to help them get into the green zone where they are ready to learn. We got some tools from a tool box and discussed how they each have a special job. It is the same with tools for regulating our emotions. Some tools help us calm down when we are angry and other tools help us focus when we are excited. We listed our ideas for different tools for each zone and made our own personal tool box books to look in when we need support with what tool to choose.
