THE TATTLE RULES CHART

I love this book for those years where you need to discuss tattling vs reporting to your class! One important component in this unit is this handy poster of the 'Tattle Rules'. This is a great chart to hang in the classroom, to remind students about the difference between tattling and reporting :)

A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue is a great book for the beginning of the school year OR a great refresher for later in the year when the class needs reminding!
