Our baby wildcats have been learning all about feelings, the Zones of Regulation, and different coping tools to help manage big emotions. Last week, during a classroom guidance lesson with Mrs. Rich, Ms. Shinn's 2nd grade students rotated through four hands-on stations to practice strategies for returning to the “green zone.”
They explored calming techniques at the breathing station, fidget station, yoga station, and coloring station—all while listening to relaxing, under-the-sea music.
What a wonderful way to build emotional awareness and self-regulation skills!

The upcoming holiday season is filled with excitement, but it can also be a time when some of our families need a little extra support. 💛 🎙 In our newest episode of Amplified, we sit down with Lisa Kerry, one of our Family & Community Engagement (FACE) specialists and Nischelle Buffalow from Buffalow Family and Friends to talk about partnership, compassion, and how our community works together to make sure no one feels alone this season. 🎧 Hear the stories, learn how to access support, and discover ways to get involved at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcasts. #EmpowerCPS #CPSCelebrates
