  Case: Missing things.
Little by little books, crayons, marker boxes and stickers sets etc have been going missing in the classroom. How would I go about confronting the students about it and finding the corporate who is taking the objects home.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The best way to address this situation would be to have a class discussion about honesty. The teacher can start by asking student what honesty means. After that she can play a video about a young person doing things that are honest and dishonest. There is a video online called Honesty is True, this video is appropriate for children. In addition, the teacher can explain to children that if you ever do anything dishonest the best way to fix it is by telling the truth to an adult or a teacher.

Comments: This will hopefully motivate the student to come forward. They will see that actions always com back to them and the truth is often found out no matter the attempt made to hide the negative action.
