The Tattle Monster

When I became a teacher I found that kids are always tattling on each other! Whether it's about what happened on the play ground or what happened at their desk they are constantly coming up to their teacher to tell them what happened. And as we all know, this can become daunting and time consuming! I got the idea for this project on Pinterest (my weakness!) When a student has something to tattle to you, they write it on a slip on paper and feed it to the tattle monster. But be sure that the students know the difference between a serious situation that the teacher should know and what can be written down and fed to the monster. Also, the students should ask for permission before writing something down so they are not moving about the classroom.
