Jennifer Jongsma on Instagram: "Self regulation. Lots of learning happens in kindergarten around the ability to self regulate in a multitude of different situations. I loved teaching a variety of different calming breaths students could use in different contexts. We kept track of our breaths we knew and referred back to them whenever we needed them. The book ‘Breathe Like a Bear’ is a great start for using different breaths (will link in my stories)"
