Tattling vs. Reporting - Does tattling drive you bonkers? Here are some fun classroom behavior management worksheets (picture versions too!) to remind kids the difference between tattling and reporting. Kids will cut, sort, and paste situations as being either tattling or reporting. It is a great way to remind students of the classroom rules and expectations. GREAT for back to school! You could even do it as an interactive whole group activity and act out/talk about each situation with your students so they understand the differences. I have heard from Kindergarten teachers all the way to 5th grade teachers that said these activities really helped their students a lot with tattling! Read some of the feedback to see for yourself! :) I also included a bonus cut and paste of Good Choices vs. Poor Choices. Enjoy! *ADDED*: I have added 3 new pages that have picture support versions of the sorts! There is 1 Tattling vs. Reporting with pictures and 2 Good vs. Poor Choices sorts. If you have already purchased this, simply redownload to get the new goodies! :) These go great to read along with the tattling books shown on this post: Read Aloud Books by Behavior That is a great list of books to read for each behavior and I love the ones on that list for tattling!

Hello Hello! I have with my last project on the Paper Issues blog today, and it's for the Treasure Map challenge. I always like challenges where I get to choose my design but have to use specific items! This was definitely a challenge but so much fun. Today I used, White, gold, polka dots, frames, flair, ephemera and washi. Let me tell you, the two what were the hardest for me to stick to was the ephemera OR stickers and black or white. Want a tip on that one? Use a collection that has no black in it! This time of year it's a little easier. Summer collections such as the Echo Park Pool Party use navy instead of black. Ok, that problem solved. I started with the Sunbeam Stitching FREE cut file. I wanted to do something different with the sun part of it. That was the perfect place to create a little embellishment cluster using a frame and flair. I added some extra details with an Elle's Studio stamp and some gold sequins. It was really hard to use only ephemera, but that was the choice I made because I wanted to use the frames. I added some washi as one of the layers under the photo as the last treasure item on my map. Phew, I got them all on there!. Where is my treasure?
