Happy and Green Zone

you are walking through the hall and see smoke. Is this a big deal or little deal?
Big Deal! This is an emergency. You need to tell an adult right away.
I feel happy so I play with my friends at recess. Is this a good choice or not so good choice?
Good Choice! As long as you are playing kindly and safely!
True or False: Changing the channel to my emotions is when I use a remote on the T.V.
False! Changing the channel on my emotions is when we name the emotion we are feeling, use a coping skill, and move on with our day.
My body starts to shake and sometimes I feel like I want to run away or hide. My eyes are wide and my mouth is open.
Scared or Afraid
Where can I go to take a break in my classroom?
Calming Corner
I didn't get to be partners with my best friends during stations.
Little deal. Stations are for working with any classmate, not just a friend. You will get a chance to see them at recess.
I feel mad so I kick my the chromebook cart and yell. Is this a good choice or a not so good choice?
Not a good choice. What could we have done instead?
Positive thoughts! Like being at the beach and saying "it's all going to be okay"
My face gets really red and I start to yell. This happens when someone does something I really don't like.
Angry
How do I use the calming corner? What are the steps?
1. Raise my hand and ask my teacher
2. Go to the calming corner quietly
3. See what emotion and what zone I am feeling, then move the magnet.
4. Select a tool to use
5. Set a timer
6. Go back to work
I fell on the playground, and I am bleeding.
Big deal. This is not always an emergency, but you need to get help from an adult.
I feel sad so I draw a picture of my emotions. Good choice or not so good choice?
Good Choice! Yay for health coping skills.

Richard was doing his stations while other classmates were talking and running around the room. Because there were so many people running around, the teacher gave the whole class five minutes at recess, even Richard. Richard is feeling very frustrated with his classmates. He wants to yell at them and tell them how he feels. Instead he stopped and thought of his pet at home. Once he was calm he told a classmate that he was feeling upset about owing minutes but that it would all be okay. Did Richard Change the channel?
Yes!

You can't find your artbox with all your pencils and crayons in it and class is about to start. Big deal or little deal?
Little deal, you can always ask for help looking for it or you can just borrow a pencil and crayons during the day. Just make sure you give them back.
