After reading "Mr. Noisy" by Roger Hargreaves we talked about "inside voices" and "outside voices". At Snack Time we used our "please" and "thank you's" and practiced our best table manners by waiting for all the other children to be served before we started eating - an amazing feat for a bunch of hungry preschoolers, but they all performed their best! It won't be long before the habit sticks and they won't need any gentle reminders from teacher.
In Arts and Crafts today we watercolored for the first time all by ourselves! The children tried their very hardest not to mix colors and used our chant of Dip, Color, Paint to keep on track. Afterwards, they all dumped out their water cups and put away their paint - they are learning responsibility a little at a time. :)
At music time we sang a silly song that one of our teachers (Miss Jamie) made up, it goes like this...
Please and Thank You, sung to the tune of “Frere Jaque”
Please speak kindly
Please speak kindly
Use nice words
Use nice words
Always say Please and Thank You
‘Else your Mom might spank you.
Be Polite
Be Polite
We were all giggling and laughing by the end of this song!
