Tattle Box

This post was here, and now it is gone.  The only thing left was the comments, title, and labels.  How strange is that?  I was writing about my tattle box.  I have one in the classroom so the kids can write down all their tattles.   Basically in all my ramblings, I said that this is the best way to keep the kids from interrupting the class for tattling and have them practice writing all while feeling like they are still being heard.  Here's a picture of my tattle box.

The kids each have a pad of paper in their desks so they can write down what they need to tattle about.  They are only allowed to put tattles in the box when we line up.  The box is conveniently located on a shelf just by the door.

If anyone has the original post in an email, please let me know!  I will repost.  I can not remember all of my witty remarks from the first time around.

  1. Wow, I keep rereading and I can't believe I didn't see that before. I mean, I know who it was about, so I know it wasn't serious, but I just saw a string of letters. Good job Becca! Guess I'm not perfect just yet :-)

    1. Anna's just past this stage (second grade now) so I guess I've gotten pretty good at deciphering first-grade-scrawl. Don't worry about perfection - you can't ALL achieve it as easily as I have! ;) Seriously though - I hope my kids' teachers are as great as you! This is one thing that I love - seeing old friends who have become teachers who truly care. Pretty awesome, I think!
