2

I like talking and working with my friends

at school.

3

My friends get sad or mad when I hit, use mean words, or grab things and not cooperate with them.

Sometimes, I want to work with my friends on a project.

I sometimes feel like not listening to them or taking things they are working with by grabbing them, using mean words, yelling or hitting.

4

If I want to use something that belongs to my friends or work with them on a project, I need to nicely ask to use it or to work with them.

I can say, “Can I use that pencil?” or “Can I read with you?”

Can I use the purple crayon?

5

Super Friends:

Ask to share or join in nicely

Work together and cooperate

First I stop, then I think about what a Super Friend would do.

Talk and share ideasand

Listen to each other

Can I work with you?

Use gentle hands and feet

6

I can try to be a SUPER FRIEND and work with my friends.

7

Working together can be fun!My friends and I get to work and create things together.

My friend can take a turn with a book, then I can take a turn.

If I want to share my ideas with my friend, I can say:“I think we can draw a picture, do you have another idea?”

8

After I ask my friend to share a crayon,

sometimes I might have to wait for my turn, but I will get a turn soon.

Can I use that crayon for my

picture?

9

My friends and I like working together.

Sometimes when my friends are working, I getupset. I may want them to listen to me or let me use some of the materials.

But my friends can use the materials and share ideas and I can wait for my turn, as long as we all cooperate.

10

My friends get sad when I don’t listen, grab materials, hit, or yell and use mean words.

I can try to go with the flow instead.

11

I can go with the flow.

I can stop, take three deep breaths, and say To myself: “I can go with the flow.”

I can go with the

flow

12

I like going to school and learning and working with my friends and teachers.

But sometimes I have a hard time and feel frustrated or angry. If I feel this way,

I need to STOP, THINK, and COOPERATE.

13

I can also remember that a Super Friend can

stop, take 3 deep breaths, and say: “I can go with the flow.”

If I am still having a hard time, I can ask the teacherfor help. I can raise my hand & wait for the teacher and say: “Can you please help me?”

I can go with the

flow

Can you please help

me?

14Go with the flow.
