Drama in the 2nd Grade

Today was one of those he said, she said moments. It took fifteen minutes out of my class to decided whose pencil it was. Yes, a pencil was the source of outright drama. I have never seen the kids so insistent about anything before. The question was and still is (we couldn't decide) "Is this Josh's pencil or Brian's pencil."

Here is what we know: 

Brian lost his pencil yesterday. 

It was blue and it didn't have an eraser. 

Josh lost his two periods ago. 

It was also blue with no eraser. 

It was on his desk during the beginning of break and gone after break. 

Tommy said that found Brian's pencil on the floor.

Thomas said that Josh's pencil was taken. 

I think that it is Josh's pencil, but can't be sure 100%. So I let the homeroom teacher handle it. Many thanks to homeroom teachers.
