A quick whole-class sensory break routine to help 2nd graders recognize and manage their energy levels—you’ll see calmer, more focused students afterward. This Tier 1 lesson is designed for a 2nd grade class and runs for one 10-minute session.

In this Tier 2 small-group lesson, 3rd graders become 'Zone Detectives' investigating personal and peer sensory/self-regulation zones. Over a 25-minute session, students learn to identify triggers, observe zones, and brainstorm strategies to shift into a calm state—building peer support and practical regulation skills.

In this 30-minute introductory lesson, 3rd grade special education students will learn about the Zones of Regulation framework, why understanding our feelings helps us stay in control, and practical strategies for recognizing and managing emotions. This lesson builds self-awareness and social-emotional skills essential for everyday success.
