Sometimes it can be hard to tell others how we feel without blaming them! This video can help you learn how to use I-Statements to be better at sharing our thoughts.

Practice using your I-Statements - Play a card game or board game with someone in your family. If you get frustrated or upset, use I-Statements to talk to your family!
Week 2 (April 6-April 10)

Week 4 (April 20-April 24)
-
How does Little Critter feel in this story? Why is he so mad?
-
Why do you think the adults in this story don’t want Little Critter to do the things he wants to do like juggle and decorate the house? Is there a way he could have done things differently so the adults would have allowed him to do them? (example: juggle with something less breakable).
