Mischief
I had a sub last Thursday and sometime between the time he left at the end of the day and the time the custodian came in, I had a mischief-maker visit. I came to school the next morning with the mess above to greet me. Nothing horrible–it could’ve been so much worse, but still it was a violation. Papers were scattered with coin manipulatives from math strewn around. The worse was probably the content of a bottle of hand sanitizer that was poured on my chair followed by a layering of the navy beans that I keep in a cup to hold my pencils up. The sanitizer left a stain when dried. Viewing the camera tapes of the hallway revealed that it was one of my students who stays in an afterschool program until her mom can pick her up. She also visited another classroom according to the tapes. That teacher reports that some candy was taken. Consequences for her actions were given and I hope they were strong enough. When asked why she did it, she replied she was mad at me for being gone that day.
