Manners



With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought it would be a good time to work on our table manners!

We opted to cover manners in general.  It's a tough subject, as it's difficult to make manners exciting...but, the kids had a good time working together and planning out scenes that they acted out.  The audience seemed to enjoy telling the “actors” if they used their manners or not. 

It was a good ice breaker activity as well, since this was really our first meeting in which the kids needed to work together as a team.  They were split up into small groups and left to create their scenes themselves. 

It was fun (for a while, lol) and they did a great job!

Meeting #1 = SUCCESS!!!

We had a wonderful time getting together with our new group.  The children enjoyed breakfast, played games and worked on a Hands and Feet Turkey Craft while us adults discussed plans and goals for our group.

We have a great group and we are all equally excited.  It seems each of us have something different to offer, which paves the way for an exciting and successful year!  We look forward to guiding our children in learning the life skills we feel are important for them learn, giving them the opportunity to perform science experiments together, serving the community, going on field trips and celebrating special events/holidays while at the same time allowing them to form bonds and close friendships. 

We have been hoping to find a group like this for the past few years, but just never found exactly what we were looking for.  I'm so glad that I finally decided to start one up myself.  It was worth the wait because I have a wonderful group of families that were eager to join us on our journey!

Thank you to those who joined us!

Now off to plan the rest of this calendar year :)
