Students in first and second grade learned the difference between TATTLING and TELLLING.
The first grade students saw the story "Don't Squeal If It's Not a Big Deal". They had an opportunity to sort situations into SQUEAL (which is TELLING) and NO SQUEAL (which is TATTLING). Each class received a reminder poster of when it is appropriate to TELL or SQUEAL.
Students in second grade heard the story "Tattle Tongue". The students were given different descriptions of situations and they had to use their Tattle Tongue card to indicate whether it was tattling or telling. Each class also received a reminder poster of the Tattle Rules.
