Lesson Plan

Zones Introduction Blueprint

Students will identify and name the four Zones of Regulation by color, recognize feelings tied to each zone, and practice articulating their current zone to build self-regulation skills.

Understanding and labeling emotions empowers K-2 special education learners to communicate needs, manage behavior, and foster social-emotional growth essential for a positive classroom climate.
