Update
I am doing guided relaxation and Dan Siegel's hand brain model with the kids. The first three boys said they felt relaxed and liked the hand brain. The teacher told me they told her they loved it and she wants me to do the same thing with other students. Friday, I will work with some other kids. I am making a calm down box as a gift for the classroom. I am also printing the Lincoln article and the Spokane handout for the Principal. I am going to offer to provide a teacher in service even though I am mildly apprehensive about that. I am going to follow your advice Tina. Going to go slow so they can draw their own conclusions. However, I overheard a teacher suggest a trauma informed practice for dealing with out of control kids...he wasn't "heard" but he may gain voice if other teachers learn more about trauma.
