Big, Medium, and Little Problems

Have you ever had a student overreact to a situation?  Do you have students who seem to do this repeatedly?  If so, today's blog can help.  Sometimes we just need to have a better perspective on events to realize if they are a big, medium, or little problems.  I found the perfect tool to help teach this perspective from Jill Kuzma's Social & Emotional Skill Sharing site.

The colorful visuals can be hung in your room to refer to once the skill is taught.  There are 2 graphics to choose from.  They are similar, however, one provides some actual examples of the different levels of problems.
