Introducing Toby the Tattle Toad...

With all the "minor" tattle going on in our room Ms. Dede came up with a wonderful idea of a "Tattle" stuffed animal that the children go and tell their problems to. We as a class sat down and talked about what you should tell the teacher (ex. hurt, bleeding, being bullied etc.). All of the other tattles are directed to Toby the Tattle Toad. This gives the children to express what is going on, and also gives them a chance to think through their problems. Of course I will hear all of "Toby's" tattles and be able to tell if a teacher needs to intervein. :)
