My mouth is a volcano!


Dear Mom and Dad:

Thank you for the students who brought in rocks and who brought in more than one rock for others to use. We started painting our monster rocks today. We need about 30 more rocks. If your child has not had a chance to bring in a rock, please send one. That would be greatly appreciated.

Today kindergarten’s occupational therapist was in our class today. She will be supporting us where needed throughout the year. Today she worked with us and talked about little problem versus big problem.

Mrs. Southworth was also in our class and she read a book called “My mouth is a volcano”. Sometimes while someone else is speaking, we have other thoughts in our head and we don’t think before our thoughts burst out and we interrupt others. In kindergarten, I am learning to use a quiet hand when I have something to share.

Question of the day: Post on the blog what the message of the story “My mouth is a volcano” was. (hint: interrupting)

Love,
Kindergarten

Housekeeping:

A letter was sent home about kindergarten collecting items! Please note that we are not asking you to buy any items but rather having your child collect items they might find either in your junk drawer, outside (cones, twigs) etc. We need CLEAR CONTAINERS of various sizes: jars, plastic containers, ice cream buckets. If you have some that you could donate to the class please send them with your child. Thank you very much!
Dear Parents,

We have a new volunteer coordinator named Sarah Axt.  If you would like to volunteer from now on, please email her at SarahAxt46@gmail.com by the end of each month. Please include your child’s name, their color group,and if they are in the AM and PM and she will make a schedule for the kindergarten classes. Even if you can't volunteer right now, please let her know that you would like to be part of her email group for future dates, projects or field trips. Please ensure that you have a security clearance and have completed all the necessary paperwork at the office before you volunteer.

Thank you from your kindergarten team! 

Cranston Peace Ambassadors will be starting a drive for Jacket Racket beginning Monday, October 26th and running to Friday, November 6th. This is a wonderful opportunity for all students to help other children here in our city, by donating warm outerwear that they no longer need. It is a valuable experience for our students and reinforces Cranston School’s commitment to peace and citizenship education. Please take some time with your children to go through their winter items. It is that time of year when we all realize that hats, mittens, boots, snow pants and coats have been outgrown! Please give them a wash and put them in a plastic bag to be brought to school. If you could list the items and sizes on the outside of the bag, it would help the students with the sorting process! We also accept adult sizes, as many older students need help to stay warm in the winter as well!

  1. The boy was not controlling his mouth and was interrupting people. In the end, he learned not to.

  3. When your head is full of words and they go down on to your tongue you yell something out. Instead you should wait and put your hand up. - Declan W.

  9. When your tummy sounds like a volcano then you are about to shout and the words will come out. You take a big breath then you blow then the words will come inside you. - Eduard
