Our time together in Black Spiders is winding down. I hope you have had as much fun as I have watching your children learn and grow! I would love to have you join us for our next semester, Gold Stars, where we will explore a star and space theme! Classes will start in January and days/times will be the same as this semester.
Our Sound Beginnings “Mr. Manners” song introduces children to some of the most basic manners involved in learning to interact socially by showing respect for others. Having and displaying good manners doesn’t just benefit others with whom the child comes in contact. Benefits to the child himself include the following :
Showing respect to others makes children happy and increases their sense of satisfaction
Children with good manners are more likely to develop strong positive relationships that buffer stress and increase their sense well-being
Interacting appropriately increases confidence and helps a child see themselves as deserving of the respect of others.
Optional home fun activity:
Cut out the Mr. Manners cards on page 23 of your workbook. This gives you cards to play a matching game with. For younger kids, just match the cards. For older kids, play the traditional game of matching with face down cards.
(Remember, these activities are optional but can be a great bonding experience to do with your child during the week.)
