"From the time you were very little, you've had people who have smiled you into smiling, people who have talked you into talking, sung you into singing, loved you into loving. So, let's take some time to think of those extra special people. Some of them may be right here, some may be far away. Some may even be in heaven. No matter where they are, deep down, you know they've always wanted what was best for you. They've always cared about you beyond measure and have encouraged you to be true to the best within you. Let's just take a minute of silence to think about those people now." -- Fred Rogers

💚💙💛❤️ We're loving this Lego® Zones Check In made by special education teacher, Crystal Lantu, who works with grades K-5 in small groups for social/behavioral skills. This year, she updated their check-in routine and the students are LOVING it!

Each student has a Lego® character they move to the Zone they are feeling before they begin their group time. They can also move to another Zone during the group if that occurs. Students have enjoyed this check in and it sparks a lot of conversation about their energy levels, feelings/emotions, and Zones. It's awesome!

If your house is anything like mine, the hour or two before school is crucial in determining how the rest of the day will unfold. The rule I keep for myself has been so important for my children.
