  Case: Tattle Tailors
I am currently in my K-5 internship where I have students constantly approaching me to essentially "tattle" on their other classmates. Examples include "he tripped me", "she threw something at me", "Robert stole me pencil", among others. How do I decrease the amount of "tattling" in my classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I liked the idea of creating social lesson on the difference between tattling and emergency. Students need to understand the difference. Also I have seen teacher use the writing activity called the tattle turtle. This activity requires a student to write their complaint or situation down and turn it in. This helps with the tattling because students when tattling do not want to waste the time to writing it down if it is not important.
