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!)
Something I have seen implemented in the lower grades is a "tattle monster" box. The teacher makes a tissue box look like a monster and then sets it up on a table next to a short little poem that describes what he is there to do. When the students come up to tell her what so and so did to so and so, she says "they either need to use their words and talk to each other, or go and tell the tattle monster about it...not me." The students can then go and whisper their tattle to the tattle monster so they feel as if they are getting their feelings out (like they need to at that age) without interrupting learning. |

| Comments: While this is a great way to teach the children how to deal with a situation on their own, I would not use this. The tissue box monster may become a distraction in the classroom and the students just go over to the monster just to get out of doing classwork. |

| Comments: This is a good idea I just don't like that there isn't an option where the student tells the teacher. Student's might get confused and not tell the teacher even when they really need to. |
