Plus we have a notorious group coming up this year and I want to be as prepared as possible! :) That Each Breath is Smile book looks really good. I read one of his books before. Thanks for sharing that! <br /><br /><a href="http://notjustchildsplay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">NotJustChild'sPlay</a>Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647389869700092299.post-3147055440317334482012-07-20T19:25:41.854-05:002012-07-20T19:25:41.854-05:00I really do need to read this book.

I explained that they were a self-help skill to bring oxygen back to their brain which would help them calm their body and get the frontal lobe working well again (the part that solves problems of course!) Teachers and parents appreciated these. I had several students tell me that they used the techniques (at home, too) and even passed a student in the hallway once who said, "Mrs. K, I'm pretzel-ing!" LOVE. <br />These techniques can be found on the CD website and downloaded already made into posters. :)Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435163575053405166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647389869700092299.post-44648009726869954062012-07-20T17:59:09.156-05:002012-07-20T17:59:09.156-05:00LOVE CD!

One way I used it this year was with Kindys - before every lesson we did one of the positive rhymes with movement - partner activity (from I Love You Rituals book). The kids LOVED it and I found that it was easier for students to work out a conflict appropriately with classmates when they'd just connected in a positive way. I also suggested to many teachers to do rituals with students; especially students with anxiety or who were getting "disconnected" from that teacher. GREAT results! (I use it with my own kids, too!)Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435163575053405166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647389869700092299.post-74423192033895206072012-07-20T11:21:24.224-05:002012-07-20T11:21:24.224-05:00I do stop-look-and-listen, but adding the "br...I do stop-look-and-listen, but adding the "breathe" in there is pure genius. It adds to the self regulation necessary to being calm, focused and ready to learn. I am definitely going to incorporate that into my classroom routines next year. thanks for sharing<br /><br />sandi<br /><b><a href="http://rubberboots%20and%20elfshoes.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">rubber boots and elf shoes</a></b>Sandi https://www.blogger.com/profile/06934275490850696637noreply@blogger.com
