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!
