Dear Parents,
Last week I painted the closet wall because it was very dirty and had writing on it when I arrived. My goal was for us to be able to create a classroom mural in the future
It was therefore very disappointing to discover that a fourth grader vandalized this closet wall within the first two hours of our first day of school.
Students should respect our classroom.
On Wednesday I discussed this matter with our class. In addition, students journaled about a related topic.
I would appreciate this being discussed at home, as you see fit. Perhaps a conversation can be had in the context of graffiti in your neighborhood or other purposeful destruction that has affected your family in some way.
Thank you for your cooperation.
