Our peace lesson focused on “a bug and a wish.” Students practiced takin care of medium size problems by using the statement “it bugs me when you ________, I wish you would _______. Mrs. Sulecki helped students brainstorm medium size problems that they could try using this strategy on. The students practiced many examples of items that “bug”them.
Here are a few great examples:
It bugs me when you talk when I am talking, I wish I could listen to my words.
It bugs me when you say mean things, I wish you would say nice things to people.
It bugs me when you talk during rug time, I wish you would tell me at recess.
