What a wonderful first week!  We have spent a lot of time learning routines, expectations, getting to know each other and about the 'Blue Devil Way!'  We are so impressed with this great group of learners.

Yesterday we introduced third grade to the Zones of Regulation.  We will be using Zones to help identify and regulate our feelings and emotions.  Students worked to sort emotions into the correct zone.  We have also been teaching strategies to help them get back into the 'green' zone and ready to learn.  For more information on this framework check out the link below:
