Teachers in Tiaras

I’m sure many of you wonderful teachers out there can side with me that tattling is a problem, especially in the EC classroom. My mentor did something simply amazing in order to nip all of the tattles in the bud. She posted a huge laminated poster of when to tattle titled “The Tattling Rules.”

The Tattling Rules (When to tell an adult) are:

-You feel scared

-It happens more than once

-Someone could get hurt

I love these! I can’t wait to post this in my classroom soon. Be sure to explain to your little ones exactly what each rule means and when the students tattle outside of the rules. I made a quick Google Doc of the one I’m hanging up in my classroom. Nothing too extraordinary, but if you’d like to use it you can get it here!
