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. ]]> 2018-10-11 14:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291751714 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291754737 2018-10-11 14:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291754737 sjeanes https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291759354 So if the point system doesn't work, what are other strategies that will work with my students]]> 2018-10-11 14:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291759354 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291761609 Taking a short moment to regulate will make for a more productive day.]]> 2018-10-11 14:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291761609 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291762911 I'm excited to use the sensory tools that were purchased for us recently!]]> 2018-10-11 14:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291762911 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291769772 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???]]> 2018-10-11 14:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291769772 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291772499 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!]]> 2018-10-11 15:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291772499 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291836615 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!

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. ]]> 2018-10-11 17:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291859070 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291876331 Just like it was beneficial and fun to us as teachers, these attributes apply to our students, too!]]> 2018-10-11 17:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291876331 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291895274 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!

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!]]> 2018-10-11 20:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291959258 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291987976 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 :)]]> 2018-10-11 23:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/291987976 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/292308940 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).]]> 2018-10-12 18:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/292308940 https://padlet.com/sjeanes/Montvale/wish/293019012 Trauma has lasting physical impact on the brain and body, even if you can't remember the event.
