Naughty Newt's Behavior (Manners)

Naughty Behaviors (Manners)
Daily Question/Sign-in: Nn Do you have good manners?

Toys:
(New) Market Stand, Play Fruits and Veggetables and plastic foods, Rose Petal Cottage.
It was so fun to hear,"May I buy two doughnuts, please?"  "Here you go!"  "Thank you!" this morning.  Each year the class seems to gravitate towards a certain type of toy or theme.  This class may be a class of inventors or sales-people!

Snacks: Sugar snap peas, carrots and dip, Ritz crackers, (juice boxes and Pop Tarts for Luke's Birthday!)

 
During snack time I heard a lot of please, thank you, more water, please. Etc. We talked about other polite words like pardon me, excuse me, and I'm sorry.


Today after play time, we read the books Please Pass the Manners and Say Please! We had an informal white board discussion and wrote down the students ideas about what manners are.

Role Play: After snack time and our discussion, the children enjoyed a role play game of meeting people and introducing themselves. For instance, "Hello. I'm Susie. Nice to meet you. What is your name?"

The children enjoyed the upbeat story and song about N the Naughty Newt who painted the Nursery walls numerous times with neon nail polish. Mother shook her finger at N and said, "N n n" (like you would scolding a disobedient child). Our follow up activity was using nail polish to paint N the naughty newt! It was lots of fun. (What good little artists I have.)
