Monaview Elementary uses the Zones of Regulation to help us identify our emotions and develop strategies for managing them. The use of colors to label our emotions is especially helpful at the elementary school level. Additionally, teaching children to self-regulate during these early years is providing them with tools that will support their mental health throughout their lives.
Teachers and students at Monaview may use vocabulary such as, "Which Zone are you in right now?", "I'm in the Blue Zone this morning because..." or "I think some of us are in the Yellow Zone. What can we do to get to the Green Zone and feel ready to learn?"
Below are Zones of Regulation Break Rooms. We hope you'll find them to be both useful and fun when working to build strategies for emotional regulation!
