*I'm sorry I've been behind informing you of our units. The last few weeks we have been talking about how our brain is like a tree and talking about the parts of our brain and what each part does. This week we will finish this conversation.*

We have been talking about emotional regulation. Ask your child about the "Regulation Railroad"!
