The Tattle Box

A colleague of mine suggested a "Bug Box" or "Tattle Box" for my students, due to the HUGE amount of tattling during class that was not quite the emergency they thought it was. Our guidance counselor gave us a great lesson on "Tattling Vs. Telling" and so after going through that lesson, I unveiled the box.
Within an hour there were no less than 20 notes.
Granted, 5 of them were by one student. . . signed with other students' names . . . one of whom had not been to school for two days . . .
Anywho, today was day two and there were even more.
Most of them were simple, harmless tattles like "So-in-so said my shirt was ugly" or "So-in-so stepped on my shoe". And of course there were the expected notes from some trying to get others in trouble just because. They were testing their limits, as 8 year olds do.
But then there was this:

Wow. Now, I know that you're gonna say, "There are grammar and spelling mistakes all in that note!" But that's the joy of the box... there's no grading! :)
But that note couldn't have come at a better time!
And then I found this one:

Proof that some of them just don't pay attention when you're giving directions. No matter what you're giving directions for. . .
