Manners

This week we talked about manners.  We discussed what good manners look like such as saying excuse me, please, and thank you.  We also talked about what bad manners looked like such as picking one's nose or putting hands in places that are not clean.  One of the students pointed out that some things such as pointing at others is thought of as bad manners but didn't understand why.  We mentioned how manners can be confusing and can be different in different cultures or countries.  Lastly, we discussed when it was appropriate to say hello. A good rule for this is when you fist see someone to say hello or hi and when you see them again that day to give a nod and a smile.
