Lesson Plan

Regulate Your Feelings

Students will learn to identify their emotions within the four Zones of Regulation and practice selecting strategies to stay or return to the Green Zone, demonstrated through sorting activities and a self-regulation plan.

Understanding and naming feelings helps students gain self-control, reduce behavioral outbursts, and improve social interactions—critical skills for 3rd grade special education learners.
