Mocha

As you have probably heard from your child by now, Mocha will most likely no longer be a part of the upper primary classroom. Three items (a crayon, an eraser, and a plastic cube) appeared in her cage on Friday. Had she eaten any of these items, there could have been serious results. After the first two items were found during the day, the students were told that anything else going in the cage that should not be there would result in Mocha leaving our room. Mr. Jones gave the entire class time to confess to placing those items in the cage; however, no one spoke up. Unfortunately, this means the entire class is going to have to face the consequence of losing our class pet. The family that donated her has expressed interest in taking her back to their home, so she will not be going to the animal shelter. If we receive a confession by 8:00am on Monday, Mocha will stay in the classroom. I apologize to the seven students who have not done anything wrong. I am saddened and disappointed by this situation.
