USING A MARIONETTE CALLED 'SNEAKY,' THIS FILM FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE EMPHASIZES THAT VANDALISM CAN SPREAD AND THAT THE OBJECTS VANDALIZED COST MONEY TO REPLACE.
Abstract
'SNEAKY' IS SHOWN VANDALIZING SCHOOL FURNITURE, TAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S THINGS, AND, IN GENERAL, SPOILING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE ELSE. SCENES OF A SCHOOL DESK MARRED WITH INITIALS AND OF A BROKEN PAY TELEPHONE ARE SHOWN TO DEMONSTRATE THAT VANDALISM HURTS EVERYONE. THE COSTS OF VANDALISM (SUCH AS ONE BROKEN WINDOW GLASS COSTING THE EVIVALENT OF 300 CRAYONS) ARE DISCUSSED AND THE IMPORTANCE OF COOPERATION AND PREVENTION IS STRESSED. (AOP)
