  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!)
This seems like the perfect opportunity to discuss the topic of "respect and honesty," as a big part of life is learning how to demonstrate respect to parents, co-workers, friends, bosses, and even strangers. One way to encourage respect and honesty may be to have a "desk fairy". The "fairy" could visit each desk every Friday during recess and see if any students left classroom materials in their desks to give back to the teacher. This gives students an opportunity to be honest and write a note next to a pencil saying "I found this on the floor it belongs to the teacher". If the students portray honesty, the desk fairy could leave a Hershey kiss or something on the desk. This method also prevents any embarrassment of students coming forth and being honest.
