Although there are many valuable lesson students are taught in school, self-regulation is by far the most important. As teachers, we can guide our students and give them the tools and resources for social and emotional success and development. Unfortunately, not all children have experienced co-regulation; therefore, they do not have the mental capacity to control their emotions and behaviors in the classroom. Due to childhood trauma and not being taught regulation, these children act out of fear. Thus, yielding an unproductive learning environment for all students in proximity, due to frequent disruption. Being taught the skills necessary to regulate emotions will reduce disruption, and produce a more successful learning environment for these students and teachers alike. To help my kiddos identify with their emotions I am asking for a Polaroid camera. This is a valuable resource to help my students SEE the emotion on their face and others. Colored bracelets that match the four colored zones will be another tool to help them learn to regulate their emotions. When my students enter the room they will select the bracelet that matches their mood. This will be invaluable towards helping them learn to self-regulate.
