Case: Recess and tattling I cannot tell you how often students will come back from recess with issues and tattling on each other. I am not down there for the incident and the teacher that is does not see what is going on or the students do not address it when they are down there. I am flattered that our classroom and I am a safe place and person for them but I have a lot of difficulty getting to the bottom of things and I feel like I waste a lot of class time trying to deal with it. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This happens a lot because I experience this same situation myself working in schools. Last school year I was constantly dealing with students' issues that occurred after recess like tattling on each other or hitting each other. It is great that your classroom feels like a safe space for yourself and the students. However, students should have some form of consequence or reinforcement for the issues that occur like tattling. Perhaps suggesting to the teacher about having a classroom party and/or fun Friday with games at the end of the week if there is no tattle telling or issues from students occurring after recess. And I would recommend creating up to five specific playground rules that you would like students to follow and record who is following the rules daily. Students can earn prizes of interest like free computer time or a book of choice for following the playground rules. This would allow the students to still have their playground time while recognizing that if the rules are not followed, they will miss the opportunity to do something they would enjoy. |
