A Bug and A Wish...Conflict/Resolution is Elementary

So a bug and a wish is a template I use to help students open a dialog and express their feelings.  My students generally use them when they come in from recess.  They complete the sentence, It bugs me when... and I wish you would...  This is a great way to get students talking and writing about what is bothering them and helps them to think of a solution.  It also makes the other student aware of how their actions affect others.  For younger students you can use puppets to do the talking and peace table to sit together.
