2nd Grade Emotional Check Ins Performance Task

Describe a time when you had a big emotion at school. Identify what emotion you were feeling and what “zone of regulation” you were in. Create a play with peers describing what happened and what emotions you were feeling at the time, and state what trusted adult you could go up to to help support you. 

You will write out this play and then practice and perform in groups of 3 or more. You are person#1 experiencing the big emotion, person #2 is another person who was there at school with you and person #3 is the “trusted adult” you go up to to help support you at school.

Create a poster showing “Zones of Regulation”. Talk and list what it feels like to be in each zone. Discuss and chart what “your engine” can do if you are not in the “green zone.” (i.e. get a drink of water, exercise/movement, healthy snack, love/affection, rest, deep breaths.)
