Here are two important things that Jefferson uses to help regulate emotions.
First is our community wall. Every child drew a picture on themselves and put themselves among their classmates. They are able to visualize how they are apart of something bigger and how they personally fit into a community.
Second is our feelings wall. This can help children learn what emotions they may be feeling and it can help them self regulate when they are feeling very big feelings. It also helps children express HOW they are feeling to other people, including staff.
