I have a really good policy in my room that the students loved last year. I created this bucket on the front of my desk as a place for children to drop me notes about things throughout the day. This definitely stopped the tattling issue. Whenever something was bothering them, or there was an issue, they would write me a note and place it in the bucket. I would usually get to it at the end of the day and read all the notes. The next day I would talk with them if it was necessary, but most of the time they had already resolved whatever the issue was. Great way to get students to think before they speak. This is also a wonderful teacher/student relationship building activity in class.
