Description
Teach students the difference between small problems and big problems, and how to solve small problems themselves with an I-Message!
✅ Digital for Google Slides™, PowerPoint, and printable resources are all included for both in-person and digital learning.
⭐ This comprehensive resource includes…
✅ An interactive Google Slides™ presentation that teaches about small problems, big problems, and how to solve small problems using an I-Message. A sorting game with 19 scenarios asks students to drag and drop the light bulb to show whether the situation is a small problem or a big problem. Students also have 3 opportunities to practice typing an I-Message to solve a small problem.
✅ PowerPoint presentation that teaches about small problems, big problems, and how to solve small problems using an I-Message.

✂️ I recommend using a manila folder, hook and loop fastener dots, and two brown paper sacks for this lesson.
