Hello Zones Community!

This month we are inspired by Valentine's Day as we explore the emotion of LOVE and how it feels. We may experience LOVE as we care for others, and when others show their care for us. LOVE may show up when we follow our passion in a hobby or sport, watch a favorite movie, or form relationships. Love is an emotion we often associate with the Green Zone but can be tied to other Zones as well, such as when your heart is filled with memories as you are grieving a loved one.

Exploring the body signals you associate with LOVE is a great way to connect your Zones instruction with Valentine's Day. When you think about LOVE, where does it show up in your body? LOVE is often associated with a warm sensation throughout our body, a squeeze or flutter in our heart, or deep sighing breaths. Add the feeling of LOVE to your Zones visual display to help learners expand their emotional vocabulary.

To celebrate Valentine's Day and share our LOVE, we are offering a 20% discount on our February 27th, Zone Your Home Training. This training is designed for parents and caregivers is to extend your understanding of emotional regulation and give you confidence in using The Zones of Regulation in the home to foster it.

This month's Zones In Action highlights an engaging Zones lesson taught to a kindergarten class in Arlington, MA.

Teacher Colleen Lloyd recently shared with us a creative Zones of Regulation progressive lesson she developed for her kindergarten students at Peirce Elementary School in Arlington, MA. Colleen first had her class read stories about characters having different feelings. Then the students were instructed to think what Zone they would be in if they felt that emotion themselves. Using The Zones of Regulation free visuals printable (see below), they sorted the pictures that matched the feelings they identified in the stories into the colored Zones.

“To continue the Zones of Regulation learning, on another day I printed the pictures in black and white so it was a little trickier for the kids to sort them than it was the first time when they had the color clues,” Colleen said. “They did great, and we then worked together to make a class Zones poster that they hung up in their quiet area as an ongoing reminder.”
