Counselor’s Corner: Our counselor will be around to each classroom each week to share “The Zones of Regulation” curriculum. Feelings come in all sizes and so do we. Mrs. Haag will share with us how important and special feelings are. She will help us recognize our feelings. All feelings are normal to have but sometimes we need to “Regulate” the intensity of them. She will give us some special tools and exercises to help us with that.
