The tattle turtle is an effective tool when you have alot of tattling in the classroom. The poem is read in the beginning of the year and lets the children know that they can "tell" the turtle anything they want.
Meet Tattling Turtle
Dear Students,
Tattling Turtle will listen to you,
When you have something to say.
Just talk to him or write it down,
and tell what happened today.
But if you or anyone else is hurt,
Please do not delay.
Come to me so I can help,
and make sure that your ok!
sincerely, Mrs. Jones

Our Class Quilt
Display this Class quilt outside for everyone to see!
Cut white construction paper into 9x9 square and give one to each child to draw a self portrait. Encourage them to use a mirror and remind them that they have 2 eyes, 2 ears, etc. Using a hole puncher, punch holes around the edges of the pictures and connect them with yarn (you can sew them in and out or just tie
through each in the back of the picture. These are wonderful! If you would like a bigger quilt put colored squares in between the portraits and connect.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? Want a fun activity to go along with book? This is so much fun and the children are tickled to "find" the animals around the classroom. I place the animals in hard to see places around the classroom the day before we read the book. At group time we read the book and the children use their "hand binoculars" to find the animal around the classroom as the book is read.
