- Step 2: Describe what happened. (Spread on the sauce).
- Step 3: Share what would help you feel better. (Sprinkle on the cheese).

✨ THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:
✅ An interactive digital for Google Slides presentation™.
✅ An engaging PowerPoint presentation.
✅ 4 posters to use in instruction and display in your space.
✅ An interactive activity that lets students “make I-Messages pizzas!” Students use 12 “I felt” emotions cards, 24 “when” small problems cards, and 24 “can you please” solutions cards to build their I-Message as they make their pizza (crust: “I felt” ➜ sauce: “when” ➜ cheese: “Can you please?)
✅ Assorted worksheets and coloring pages that let students practice the 3-step process for using I-Messages.
