Today in Kindergarten, we read My Mouth Is a Volcano! and used the story to talk about self-control; what it means, what it looks like, and what it sounds like. We learned that self-control doesn’t mean we never get excited, frustrated, or have something we really want to say. It means we practice stopping long enough to make a good choice. Our kindergarten reminder was: STOP → THINK → BREATHE → CHOOSE
We talked about how sometimes our feelings can build up just like pressure inside a volcano. When that happens, instead of “erupting” with our words or actions, we can pause, take our five-finger breath, think about what might happen next, and choose a response that is kind, safe, and respectful. Of course, we had to finish our lesson by making our own volcano erupt! The kids loved watching the reaction, and it gave us the perfect visual reminder: our feelings may get BIG, but we are still in charge of what we do with them.
