In September we focused on using polite/kind words, specifically “thank you, please, excuse me and your welcome”. This month we are focusing on table manners at lunchtime and snack time. We are focusing on eating with our mouth closed, cleaning up after ourselves and talking kindly with each other at the table. Grade 3 would love to have a shared lunch with our parents at the end of this month in order to display our good table manners and enjoy each others company. The 21st October is being looked at for a possible date. Invitations will be sent out shortly to confirm the time and date.
