A tattle vs. A report!

I would like to thank Mrs. Burke for inviting me into her class to talk to the students about tattling. We started off our visit by reading a great new book from our library called "A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue" This book is very entertaining and did an excellent job of describing the difference between a tattle and a report. We defined a tattle as when you tell on someone to try and get them in trouble and a report as telling because someone is in danger, hurt, or something is broken (including a rule). We also talked about trying to solve the problems ourselves and when that doesn't work asking the teacher for help.
