Turn Off the Tattling with a Tattle Tell Monster!

Ah, the never-ending saga of classroom tattling. It’s like a never-ending game of “he said, she said” that we can’t escape. We want our students to feel comfortable coming to us with concerns, but we also don’t want to encourage a full-blown tattle fest. It’s a delicate balance, like trying to walk on a tightrope while juggling eggs. So, how can we navigate this tricky terrain? You can always start with a Tattle Monster Box!

Recycled Tissue Boxes = A Starting Point to Managing Tattling in the Classroom

To get started on your tattle management system, always begin with a few lessons on the difference between tattling and telling. With these lessons, students learn to ask themselves.

  • Is someone in danger?
  • Is someone hurt?
  • Is it a now or later problem?
  • Am I minding my own business?
