Jayanthy, I love to be your class student... very colorful teaching!
Wow, Jayanthy Ma'am..... Nice Chart..... as soon as Dharun saw this, he had asked me make one to stick in his room..... just hv shifted to new home, would be starting such work in another two weeks' time...... thanks to you.....
by the way, I dont understand one thing.... what is the Thanks and Sorry for?.....
Nice for children and may be for some adults too :-)
The students must be quite good if they could read that much English :-)
Always use the word "please" before entering into anything like classroom, a
conversation, etc. Always say "thank you" for others' acts of kindness. Say "sorry" if
you do anything wrong or if there is any sorrowful situation. Of course "excuse me"
is for your own follies or you want to take permission for something.
Regards! - mOhana
Purni,thanx is for using your idea and sorry is for not asking your permission. Dharun, thanks for your appreciation.
Mr. Rao sir,
Children in KG can't read these, we read it out to them daily and explain well so that by saying a sentence, they gradually understand the meaning. This is also a positive approach as we do not have to say "don't do this, don't do that" etc but say "do this way or do that way".
It is so helpful when you want to convey the message in short either in the class or while moving outdoors. You are the best person to comment on this sir.
It is nice that proper manners and behaviour are taught from the KG stage to children.
The situation was quite different during my young days (that means ancient times :-).
I was not educated in an English medium school. Words like "I'm sorry", "Thank you
very much", "Excuse me please" in daily talk came much much later, during the college
or postgraduate days. That does not mean we were all mannerless or uncouth or boorish.
Even here in the US, when students from India arrive for the first time, in
some places, there is an orientation course where some of this elementary courtesy
like the one jayantIjI elaborates, not that much common and prevalent at home,
is taught.
But I always wonder - do people always feel sorry when they say I'm sorry and are
always thankful when they say thank you :-)
Regards! - mOhana
It is nice to teach good manners to children when they are young.
But sorry and thank-you should be felt than said!
Same pinch Purni - No sorry no thanks Jayanthi...
