For Valentine's Day, students in Miss Brown's first grade are practicing positive affirmations. When students learn to use positive affirmations, they increase their self-efficacy, self-regulation, and task engagement, as well as successfully manage social challenges. These amazing first graders completed a writing activity by writing positive "I can", "I am", and "I have" statements for Valentine's Day!
