I am... Statements

Empower your students! Some of them don't have loving parents at home to reiterate these concepts in their lives which is unfortunate because usually those are the students who need it the most. I have them tape it in their ISNs and either rewrite it or trace it. Nobody is allowed to talk while I read them out loud, and they write. You too will be encouraged by these!

• I believe in myself.
• I believe in my abilities.
• I believe I have a purpose.
• I will focus on the things that I can do, not the things that I cannot do.
• I didn’t cause it. I can’t change it, but I can cope with it.

• People love and care about me.
• Whatever life puts before me will be useful experience that will make me stronger, wiser, and more tolerant.
