Dobbing vs Telling

For a lot of this year I have been trying to teach my class things that are really important to tell me and things that are not. For a while my class became King and Queen dobbers with so little as a 'wrong look' deserving my attention... until now!

This term I have introduced the poster below to try to teach my kids the difference between dobbing (tattling) and telling. Basically what is important to tell me and what isn't. So far this has worked a treat! Kids are really getting on board and even thinking about what they are about to tell me before they do (ahhhhmazzzing!)

Definitely recommend something similar if you have issues with dobbers!
