Click above to learn more about the 'ZONES'

Today, we reviewed the zones of regulation. Parents, if you have a moment, please visit the link to learn more about the different zones. The students are learning to be able to identify which zone they are in at any particulate time. In addition to this, they are learning to articulate how they are feeling and why they are feeling that way. Parents, click here to read an article on social thinking and the 'Zones'.

1.) MATH: Quiz on Wednesday on Comparing Fractions

2.) SCIENCE: Photo essay (final draft) due on Wednesday.

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

Choose the yellow, blue, or red zone and write about what made you enter that zone and write a paragraph (intro, supporting sentences, and conclusion). This could have happened today, yesterday, or anytime in the past.
Provide specific examples/details on why it made you feel the way it did.
Include a strategy you could have used to bring yourself back to the 'GREEN' zone.
Give one student a suggestion on something else they could have done to regulate themselves.
Edit/revise your original post for the 'GIVENS'.

Today I was in the blue zone. I was tired, and sleepy. You guys would know how it feels to be sleepy on a school day right? It feels horrible XD At least for me. I was in the blue zone because I only got 6 hours of sleep last night because I stayed up for the lab write up. What upset me most was because I wasn't done even after all the time I spent on it. I was also in the blue zone because I was hit in the eye by a basketball ricocheting right in front of me. It still stings a lot -_- and it made me feel kind of dizzy for the rest of the day. I solemnly swear that I will NEVER underestimate a basketball ever again. What calmed me down most was music. I really love the song "River in Judea". It's really high pitched and has a nice harmony part as well. That was what brought me back into the green zone today.

Being in the blue zone really doesn't make your day, but you can learn how to control it! :3

Just some tips :3

Today I was feeling tired, stressed and grouchy. This means I was in the blue zone. I was tired because I only got a few hours of sleep last night because I came back late from a dinner. I was really stressed cause I was like, oh no am I gonna get a good mark on my Lab- Write up? Did I fail? And stuff like that. I was also kind of grouchy from the lack of sleep. When I got home from school I relaxed and did a bit of my homework which actually brought me back to the Green Zone surprisingly. I never liked homework but today I loved the work I got. It was math, and of course math is my favourite subject.

I am in the blue zone because of homework but what would make me in the green zone is if I can play video games

I feel in the blue zone because it is really annoying for me to go to school for 5 whole days a week and keep doing something i do not want to do for most of my life. It is also really annoying that most of the work I do not know how to do or I missed it entirely so then I might have to go home and waste some of my time while school is the place to do work

Sit back and relax because I'm going to tell you a story about a time when I was in the... BLUE ZONE. At the beginning of this school year I was in the blue zone because I was split up from my friends. That day I felt tired, bored and gloomy. I did not have energy to do work and I looked everything in a negative way. We also got a new teacher like every week which made me even more down because we would not have time to do anything! We would start something new like every day/week. But then, after a week or two I got used to it because I thought to myself what is the point of being sad. Nothing will change if you are sad everyday. So the next day I got out of bed and quickly slapped a smile on my face. ( I did not actually slap my face) Once I got to school I looked everything in a positive way. When we did something new for gym I thought. Hey, why not we learn something new from new experiences. Now every time I am in the negative zones I just take a deep breathe and smile.

As you all know I'm a tired one at school which is the blue zone. I'm basically in the blue zone almost everyday because I don't get enough sleep and when I wake up, I'm a mess. I always sleep in for at least 10 more minutes when I wake up, looking at the time I kind of have to rush to school since I need to walk and it takes about 15-20 minutes. Since I don't get enough sleep I'm all gloomy and I mumble when talking. I think to get back in the green zone I should get more sleep, and do something that'll wake me up in the morning so I won't be as tired during classes. Being in the more negative zones isn't the best way to be during the day, live life and enjoy it. :)

@ Vivian - Don't u have a alarm or something? I have an alarm and I have to wake up at 7:00 everyday in the morning. Having an alarm is really handy.

Vivian

@ Caden
I do but I hate waking up.

I was at yellow zone when i fell at recess and my jeans got really dirty.I was very worried that my mom would get super angry at me. That is why I was at the yellow zone.

Today I was mostly in the blue zone. (Except for this morning because I was in the green zone. Because I finished my Lab Write Up.) After school I went to Richmond Center with my mom to buy some birthday stuff. For the most part I wanted to just sleep and not do anything. I was getting pretty tried and bored. Once i came home I drew on my computer. I calm myself down by drawing on my computer and listing to music that I can listen to for a while. (Like River in Judea) Or I start playing games that involve guns like Phantom Forces on Roblox. (Don't judge me.) With calming music in the background.

11/20/2017 08:42:46 pm

i was i the blue zone when i was bored

Mr. Hong

11/20/2017 10:16:43 pm

@ KW - What did you do to get out of the blue zone and back to the green?

11/21/2017 10:27:38 am

I just relaxed for a bit and calmed down.

I was in the blue zone on Saturday, because I slept really late, and woke up really early to go to V.Y.S.O. and we rehearsed for 2 hours. Then, I had French class immediately after that, for 2 hours. After wolfing down my lunch, I had to go to violin class, and because I am about to take an exam this Winter season, I had to stay after class, for another 3 hours. (That's a total of 4 hours at my violin studio). I was really tired, and I ate some ice cream to cheer up. I got to watch some T.V. with food, and I felt better.

Yellow zone. Why? Earlier this day, I was in the yellow zone from about 1 - 2:30. How and why? Well, I don't want to seem like a snitch or be mean, but I have to say that Caden did distract me a lot by burping in my face over 5 times. I could've went to the 'Green zone' by telling Caden to stop.

Caden

11/20/2017 09:29:29 pm

@ Karman - Hahaha.. Sorry Karman. I was just trying to be funny. I won't do it ever again.

So I don't use my time wisley most of the time (not all) , so I stayed up until 10:55pm yesterday to do my lab write up because like half of the day I was just standing there doing nothing and listening to people speak and do random speeches. So then this morning my mom woke me up so early and I hated it . I could have used the time to rest. I came to school and then we had gymnastics like first thing in the morning . So I was very tired but I still wanted to do it. As you all know or guessed I was between the yellow and blue zone.

Today I was mostly in the blue zone. Mostly because I was sleepy and tired. I only got like 6-7 hours of sleep last night because I was working on my lab write up and was helping my parents. At the end of the day I got a bit in the red zone. Usually to calm me down I would listen to my favourite music or tallk about it to with a good friend or watch something. I did both listening to music and talk about it with a friend.

We’ve all had our experiences of being in different zones. The green, the yellow, the blue and the red. On a horrible day I woke up being in the yellow zone. To be exact, I was feeling frustrated. Now on this day, I thought of everything negatively (I still do) and I felt like I could just ignore people to feel better. During the day everyone seemed fine with it, but I felt like I needed to change my attitude. I decided to go back to the green zone and be all happy and stuff. Afterwards I didn’t feel like everyone was judging me, even if it looked like everyone was fine with it. After looking back to this experience I realized that I not only was horrible to myself, but I was also horrible to the people around me. The great thing is, I was able to go “back” to the green zone by realizing what’s happening around me. Now every time I’m in one of the bad zones, I’ll think about how I’m affecting myself and others.

Today we learned about the different zones. The different zones are the blue zone, green zone, yellow zone, and red zone. The blue zone is when you have low energy. The green zone is when you’re happy and calm. The yellow zone is when you are feeling a bit excited, silly, or upset. The red zone is when you are extremely mad, elated, or afraid. When I was two years old (yes two), I went on a trip to Yellowstone. When we were there, I had a purple plushy. It was my favourite and I wouldn’t let go of it. Later on that day, I transitioned into the yellow zone because my mom wanted to take my plushy, so I could have a photo without it. However I didn’t want to let go of it, so I argued with my mom and eventually she let me take the photo with the plushy. After that I was in the green zone again. A different strategy I could have used is to let my mom take the plushy because she would have given it back right after the photo, and we could have skipped all that arguing. But I was two and two year olds sometimes have a special toy of theirs. From that I have learned to think before I do something, or I might regret it, or in this case save a lot of time.

I know. i'm still sick till this day. I've been getting better and getting worse! please help.

Basically I was in the blue zone within the paragraph, and now I'm gonna tell you why. So yesterday, It was 5:30am which is my normal time to wake up for me. To be honest, I only got about 5 hours of sleep. However I tried to fall back asleep, but I couldn't. It was like someone was whispering in my ear "DON'T GO TO SLEEP!". So for the most of the day I was SUPER tired, and gloomy. Which left me in the blue zone for most of the day. One I got home though. I was like "I NEED A NAP!". So I had a nap (the first time I had a proper nap since I was like 5). Once I got up, I was still a little gloomy but I decided to just think about other things rather then sleep (which worked). And that was basically my day rather then doing homework after the nap.

So all of us have been in the green, yellow, blue or green zone. I'm mostly in the blue zone but I'm not going to share why because it is personal but I can share why some of the times I'm in the red zone. Most of the time when I'm in the red zone I am upset at someone or even with myself. I'm pretty sure some of you know how I feel. Sometimes I'm in two zones like the blue and red zone. That's mostly when someone has said something to me. I wonder what zone you are mostly in. If you don't mind pls share

I'm not often in the red zone, but my mood was a fire-truck red last Sunday. Here's why:

I was completing my PAR when all of a sudden the wifi froze. I did a what I thought was a logical thing, and tried to reload the page. The key-word here guys, is TRIED. My browser was just a frustratingly blank white screen. I had already been working at it for a while, and I was a sentence or two away from being done. I called my Dad (who was at that time, on the phone) to come fix his computer. Then fifteen or so minutes later, he comes upstairs and... RELOADS THE COMPUTER. At the time I was in the complete green zone, because I had made a habit of copying my post every few minutes using command C, and you're probably wondering why 'RELOADS THE COMPUTER' is in ALL CAPS. Well, the answer is, because, turns out when you restart a mac book it erases everything you command c-ed. Unfortunately I did not know that, so I was hopelessly clicking the keys on the keyboard, until it dawned on me, that perhaps the computer had deleted what I had copied. Let's just say, that 5 minutes later I was still throwing pencil crayons at my bed, had I been throwing paintbrushes it would've made for a very interesting splatter paint. Thankfully I was able to get back into the green zone by doing the post again, it was easier since I had already come up with what I wanted to say. Hopefully that never happens aga

We have been asked to write a paragraph on a time we were in the red, yellow, or blue zone and how we made our way into the green zone.
I remember one time I was in the red zone because my brother kept messing up my football shelf and I was getting very upset because I had to keep re-doing it.
It told him to stop and like most of the time he just laughed at me.
I got to the point where I got so mad I punched him and we started to fight, I recognized I was fighting him over such a silly thing and stopped and apologized.
I could have done some deep breaths or walked away and do my football shelf at another time when he wasn’t around to regulate.
After we stopped fighting I went instantly to the green zone because we had a delicious meal for dinner and it calmed me down.
