Positive Self Talk

Ms. Wideman is helping us practice positive self talk, particularly during times when we are feeling worried or stressed. The children love when she models new ideas like this one with her puppets   Then we role play the new concept to practice it. We look for opportunities during the day to continue practicing. For example, before we worked on a math assessment, we shared positive self talk with each other. The children's ideas were:  I can do this. I have practiced it.  I can ask a teacher for help. I will try my best.
