Don't Be a Rude Cake!

As kindergartners settle into school routines, we are discussing appropriate behavior by reading the following books:

• The Day My Mom Came to Kindergarten - Rules for school include raising your hand, being quiet when the teacher is talking, waiting your turn, and cleaning up.
  
• Rude Cakes - We want Cyclops politeness, not Rude Cake rudeness! Say please and thank you, wait your turn, and share.
  
• No Fits, Nilson! - When you feel a fit coming on, try distracting yourself, promising yourself a reward (banana ice cream, banana ice cream, banana ice cream ...), or taking deep breaths.
  
• Horrible Bear! - Talking about feelings and apologizing is the way to go v. planning revenge for something that might have just been an accident.

Families can download the Rude Cake activity kit. I used Rowboat Watson's directions on how to draw a Rude Cake to make a coloring page:
