Tattle Problem Solving

Created by

Back to Third Grade

Tired of the tattling? These posters are a great way to get kids to think about the severity of their problems. I introduce each poster and as a class we brainstorm what kinds of problems can go in each category. When kids approach me to "tattle", they now say... "I have a green problem, etc..." They do not come to me if they have a pink or yellow problem. This is a great way to incorporate problem solving into your daily routine and eliminate needless tattling. Enjoy!!!

About the store

Experience

Teaching style

I like to think of myself as old school with style. I like taking a traditional structured approach to some parts of our day. But I also love mixing it up. I enjoy cooperative learning groups and the engagement that brings the students. But I do also understand the need for individual work and how it plays into the confidence of a child.

Awards & shining teacher moments

During my first five years of teaching, I was working on my Master's Degree in Reading. A professor from my University decided to make me the subject of his research in the area of educational drama in the classroom. He spent a year in my classroom conducting research on the effects of educational drama used in the classroom. I am proud to say that I am part of this professor's research and a chapter or two in a book of his. =)

My own education history
