Naughty Behaviors (Manners)

Daily Question/Sign-in: Nn Do you know what manners are?

Toys:
Cash Register and Play Foods Market, Spaghetti Doll House and Village, Play Kitchen and Skee Ball.

Snacks: Banana slices, Cheeze-its, and Nutter Butter Cookies.

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.



Show N' Teach: for letters Mm and Nn
Today we had a special guest join us--Max!  Savannah (and her Mom) brought in their special pet, a white Shih-Tzu.  The children had fun asking Savannah questions about what Max ate?; where he slept?; and how Savannah took care of him.



Jack shared a bag of noodles (a favorite food of several students)!  Eli brought in a special microphone and told us how it worked.  

 Aaron brought in a favorite race car named Nigel Gearsley (an Astin Martin race car from Great Britain).
 Today after play time, we read the books Time to Say Please and Say Please! We had an informal white board discussion and wrote down the students ideas about what manners are.  We also listened to Winter's Lullaby (about Hibernation) and the changing of the seasons.



N The Naughty Newt Nailpolish Activity:

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.)
