Trauma has lasting physical impact on the brain and body, even if you can't remember the event. Use sensory activities to help regulate, the relate and reason.

Great to get to learn and use the strategies and tools first before trying them in the classroom. I loved the breathing and rhythm aspects. How easily those could be woven in to the day, throughout the day, and incorporate different types to address different needs in kids. The down-regulators really stuck out to me; we seem to always go for the up-regulators and have a better grasp of those. These things are good for ALL kids (and adults).

Thankful for trainings like these and especially thankful that we already have a lot of these sensory tools purchased for us and ready to use. Both were perfectly timed :)

Learning to take a few moments throughout the day to regulate ourselves and our students is so beneficial. Understanding that one technique may not always work with every student experiencing similar situations. Regulating techniques need to be just as flexible as our teaching methodologies. Benefits of some of the regulating techniques were seen today in my classroom!

Breathe-----When life gets busy, crazy, too much.....just breathe.

It can take several forms, not just banging on a drum. Our lives are full of rhythms. Drumming also can be used in the classroom.

Making a connection with our flexible seating and our new regulating tool bins/fidgets with the information given today! Also the equine knowledge was fascinating!

Just like it was beneficial and fun to us as teachers, these attributes apply to our students, too!

So many kids could be facing trauma and we never knew it. In fact, so many people in our lives have trauma that causes them to react in particular ways. We need to be patient and find a tool that works for them. We can also be flexible with the little bodies that just want to try new tools. The fun of it will wear off and it certainly won't hurt them.

How easy and significant incorporating rhythms into my classroom transitions and routines can be. I've loved using beats and breaths today with my students and they have LOVED it too!

and the body keeps the score. Yet, we can promote healing in ourselves and others through rhythm, sensory tools, and movement. I could feel the impacts on my own body during each of the experiential activities throughout the day. Attunement!

Rhythm is a way to be in sync with each other. It is a way to build community, build confidence, trust, and engage our students in learning. Can I get some drums down here???

I'm excited to use the sensory tools that were purchased for us recently!

Taking a short moment to regulate will make for a more productive day.

So if the point system doesn't work, what are other strategies that will work with my students

Self regulating- important for students and teachers too!

My take away is to remember that most kids experience some type of trauma in life and we should remember that kids are reacting to something and are not bad. We should (in my opinion) treat all kids with the assumption that they are reacting to something and not assume they are just bad or annoying.

It is so important to keep myself regulated since the students are reacting to my behavior.

Don't focus on just the tools that you are comfortable with or familiar with, brush off some of the other tools. Everyone is different and may need a tool you are not using.
