The Zones of Regulation by Emily and Trisha

       Do you know what the zones of regulation are? The zones of regulation are feelings that relate to a color. Such as red and mad or blue and sad! Mrs. Ryan has been teaching her class about the zones and they love it!
      The green zone is a great place to be in.The green zone is a zone of regulation that means the person in it is either, thankful, relaxed, okay, appreciated, excited, focused, proud, content, feeling good, listening, calm, or happy. All in all, you're basically in a good mood. When you're in the green zone, you're ready to learn.  
        The red zone is expected when your being or feeling aggressive, mean, angry, grouchy, crabby, yelling, mad (of course), terrified, frustrated, jealous, or annoyed. When you're in the red zone, it is very hard to learn.  (Annoyed also falls in the yellow zone which is another zone of regulation.)The reason it means what it sounds like is because you want to get all your anger out and clench your fists until they hurt. Being in the red zone is not necessarily a bad thing but at school you need to get out of the red zone, or else it will distract other learners and distract you. You need to use a strategy such as a walk or a drink. Mrs Ryan never lets us take a break longer than 2 minutes. Which is a good thing so we can learn longer and so we can get out of the red zone or yellow zone. 
     Another zone of regulation is the blue zone its a zone your in when you're tired,slumped over,scared, and terrified. The blue zone mainly means you are tired.The blue is not a very good place to be in when you are in school. It is a good place to be in at twelve o'clock at night.
      In all the zones of regulation are a great way to sort out emotions and feelings.
