You could use "How to Lose All your Friends" by Nancy Carlson and then have
the kids work in pairs or groups to remake the book "How to Keep all Your
friends" using positive messages or I messages.
I usually get to know the kids for a couple days and then when I teach them
I use examples that would be completely out of character for that person and
let the rest of the class come up with I messages for the child to use and
even demo....
For example: Shy/quiet kids: John got up to get a napkin at lunch and Jen
takes his seat and pushes his lunch further down the table.
I make up a scenario using every child and we do 2 or 3 each day. The kids
love it and ask to do more and it is good to practice while they are still
in the "honeymoon" stage of school.

Subject: [MOSAIC] Conflict Resolution/I-Statements
Hi! I am student teaching in the 2nd grade and I want to do a lesson on
Conflict Resolution. I want to teach the students about how to use
I-statements (When you I feel etc). I am hoping this
will help the children to express their feelings in a positive way and
help them to problem solve. I am looking for children's books that might
be a good introduction to this topic or at least a discussion starter. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Lauren
