22Big problems- a problem that involves a lot of people, that can last for days, weeks, and months. It is a problem that can involve physical danger, injury or death.

Medium problems- a problem that may involve a few people and can last for a couple hours. It may involve hurt feelings.

Small problems (glitches)- a problem that involves one to two people, it lasts minutes. It is a problem that kids can solve themselves or just ignore the problem.

This teaches the students that there are big problems and small problems (glitches). We want the students to learn that different problems require different reactions, emotions and solutions based on their size. 01/15/12 What is the Size of the Problem?

36What are the Zones of Regulation?It is a curriculum to help us gain skills to regulate our actionsIt helps us learn how to solve problems in an expected wayIt helps us learn how to control our reactions when we are feeling like we will lose controlIt helps us learn self-regulationThere are 4 zones: Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red

37This is when you have a low level of alertness, you are not paying attention, and are not very excited. Your body and/or brain is moving slowly or sluggishly.

The Blue Zone

38This is a state of alertness. Like a green light, you are good to go. This is the zone you need to be in for schoolwork and for being social. Being in the green zone shows control.

The Green Zone

39When you are in the Yellow Zone, proceed with caution and slow down! This is when you start to lose control. It is a good idea to use caution when you are in the Yellow Zone.

The Yellow Zone

40The Red Zone is reserved for extreme emotions. When you are in the Red Zone, you are out of control, have trouble making good decisions, and must STOP!The Red Zone

41Lesson 1:Creating Wall Posters of the ZonesCan you categorize all the ways we feel and act into four zones? There are a set of pictures in a container.Take turns selecting a picture from the containerTell the others what the emotion isDemonstrate the facial expression of that emotionWith your group, discuss where to glue to picture within the zonesGlue it to the poster in the zone decided on by the group 42Lesson 1:Follow-up QuestionsHow are you feeling right now?What Zone are you in now?How will sorting the ways you feel and act into four zones help you understand yourself better?How will it help you understand others better?When you understand how you are feeling, you are better able to control yourself. You can do something about it. 43Lesson 1:Act It OutHave one person draw a zone color from the container (dont show the others the color you chose).

Act out an emotion from the zone color you chose.

Choose someone to guess which zone you are acting out.When you understand how you are feeling, you are better able to control yourself. You can do something about it. 44Lesson 2:Zones BingoGuess my facial expressionWe are playing Zones bingo to practice recognizing facial expressions and to discover new emotions.Get a Zones Bingo paperListen for the emotion named and find the picture that goes with that emotionIf you dont remember the emotion, ask the person next to you to demonstrate the facial expression of that emotion.Keep marking the emotions until someone calls BINGO!Explain why it is important to know what someones facial expression means so you can tell what other people are thinking and feeling. A facial expression gives a clue to what other people may be thinking so that we can adjust how we are acting based on that information.45Lesson 3:The Zones in VideoHave you ever considered how the zone you are in can impact people who are nearby?

You will get Zone color coded sticks

Watch the movie clips and think about what zone the character is in

Raise the colored stick that represents the appropriate zone
