I was substituting in a first grade class and we were dicussing state quarters. I actucally had a few so we passed them around the classroon. One didn't come back. I sent a note to the pricapal asking him to come to the room. In front of the class I explained what happened. He handeled it very diplomatically asking if anyone had the quarter. No one did. He said that hopefully by tomorrow morning the quarter would be on the teacher's desk with no questions asked. He also stated to these kids that if someone was aware of who had the quater they could tell him in private and he would not tell anyone who told but they had a responsibility if they knew someone stole something.
The teacher I was subbing for lives right across the street from me so when I got home I told him what happened. He said when he got to school the next day the quarter was laying on his desk.
We still don't know who took it (although we have our suspicions but we really didn't want to single out this child) although you have every right to cause you know who had it first.
I know mine was only a quater but it was really about honesty. I would talk to the principal and see what he/she has to say. If that is no help then I would call the parents.
