'I' Statements

As part of our learning about Kia Kaha- standing up for ourselves and being strong- we have been practising 'I' statements.



You say an 'I' statement when someone has upset you, hurt your feelings or bullied you.



You stand up tall and strong, look at the other person and tell them how you feel, why you are feeling that way and what you want them to do.



"I feel upset when you push in front of me because I was here first. I want you to go to the back of the line."



To say an 'I' statement you go.....

I feel _____________ when you _______________ because _______. I want you to ____________ .



We enjoyed our role plays to show you how to say 'I' statements. Try it for yourself. Let us know how it goes for you.

We try to use I statements in our class, but sometimes we forget. This reminded us how to do it.

I like how you teach conflict resolution in your class. We don't do that in my school, but I can see the value in it. It allows someone a way to express their feelings so the other person can understand.

Great job! These were fun to watch as well as educational. I am leaving the United States to go to France in about an hour. I am sure there will be lots of lines. Now I know what to do if someone tries to get in front of me in the line.

Great job!

Hey kids,
My name is billabong and i think you did a fantastic movie making! I see you were trying to teach people to stand up for them selfs and to teach people not to boss people around! My FAVOURITE one was when a girl was at the front of the line and a boy wanted to be at the frount of the line and the girl yelled at him and she was and he went to the back of the line and she was still at the front of the line! I hope you keep up the amazing and fantastic work!

Cheerleader said...

hey guys,

Your Vidoes are really cool! The way i looked at it i think what your trying to say is stand up for self. People at my school would think you guy were great actreses and actors. my favourite one was the one where you had the girl and the boy at the front of the line. I think it dosent matter about whos at the front of the line but you when you get older you will understand!!! i think you should keep up the realy good work and you shold make some more but just not about bulling about thing like why is your school really good.

maybe your class can have a look at mine and my classes the web adress is www.guestclg.edublogs.org. cheak out kids in our class have there own blogs so have a look and leave us comments on maybe our 5 life lesson or maybve what do you thik would have been worst have a good look in our folders and have a really good look at Cheerleaders folder because thats me and have a good look and leave some comments!!!

From you bnew bloging friend Cheerleader!!

Anna said...

Good job on the videos! I think this is a great way to stop bullying and other problems we have in school. Keep up the good work and I am sure more kids will be convinced!

Ashley said...

Wow, I am amazed at how much you, children know about respect. I am very proud in how you are trying to show the world how to act upon each other in each of these situations. I hope that we can all fight against bullying every day towards each other.
