Personal Items at school
TOYS & SPORTS EQUIPMENT AT SCHOOL
We have noticed a sudden increase in toys and stuffed animals coming to school. Also, we are seeing Pokemon cards appearing both in the classroom and outside at recess.
These items usually become the source of conflict and/or upset because they get damaged, lost or "borrowed" by others.
