Manners Matters

Sr. Catherine at STM reminds us about the importance of teaching kids manners by using the "The Essential 55"by Ron Clark as a guide. You can purchase this fantastic little book by clicking Here and read an article about how it is used in the classroom (or home) by going here.

Here are rules 8 and 9:

Rule 8: Children should never smack their lips, roll their eyes, or show dis-repect with gestures. (Ahem,this goes for us too.)

Rule 9: It is appropriate that your child always say "thank you" when the teacher gives him/her something. There is no excuse for not showing appreciation.
