At Colfax-Mingo Elementary, we focus on the power of I-statements. An I-statement can be used to express feelings about a situation in a healthy and productive way. I-statement format sounds like: I feel…when you…can you please…?

 

A good book for reviewing I-statements, is I Can Use an I-Statement: I am a Problem Solver, by Jenelle French.
