Manners

Manners are so important everywhere. At home and at school because the world needs more thoughtful and kind people. When everyone treats people the way they want to be treated our world is a happier place.

1. Today tell me a time where you witnessed someone using excellent manners. How did you feel? Tell me a time you saw bad manners and how you felt afterwards.

Manners Matter


I always enjoy seeing a student helping out another student. Manners are important and needed everywhere. Helping when someone drops their books or just saying please.


Describe a situation wen someone uses poor manners. Then describe the same situation when you see some using good manners?Bold
