  1. do fun activies with them like play house make them belive there  a police and give thenm snacks also let them panit pictures get some toys so they can play and alot more fun activities


  2. Imbibe means to drink. Provide good examples, tell them to say please, thank you, hello Mrs. So and So, etc.

  3. Of course it's possible to teach them rules of etiquette.  When my granddaughter was 18 months old, my daughter took her trick-or-treating and she politely said thank you at every house they visited, without any reminders from her mom.  If the adults around them are modeling good manners and appropriately respectful behavior, they will pick it right up.  And it's very easy in a classroom situation to do this also.  Treat the children with respect and good manners and they will do the same.  You may need to remind them sometimes, "What do we tell Johnny's mom for bringing in cookies to share with us?"  They will come up with the right answer, and next time they'll probably be reminding each other!  We also send out thank you cards when appropriate, and discuss good manners and why we need to use them.

  5. Maybe, but I'd prefer to imbibe a Bud.

  6. It definitely is possible.  You as the teacher first need to model these things yourself.  Make some lessons about manners,  being nice, sharing, and all of the positive character traits you want the children to have.  After you do that, you need to give the children time to adjust to saying these things.  If it's not required at home constantly, it will be harder for them to remember to say it in school.  You could even write a letter to the parents stating what you are working on.  Don't come right out and say you want them to practice it at home; as that might make them feel like you think they don't.  Maybe if you just tell them you're working on it, they will pick up the hint to try more at home if not already.

    Also, you need to give the kids the opportunity to do these things.  Depending on how your class is set up; let's say you have centers and you monitor them, by watching/listening.  Give them reminders to say please thank you, etc.  Also when someone shows good etiquette make sure to identify it, and give praise.  

    You could also make up a chart.  Have each child's name on it, if they say please, thank you, etc, give them a sticker.  Maybe after so many stickers they can get a bigger sticker, or something else.  I wouldn't make it like a toy or prize because it shouldn't be something they say just to get a prize.  Hope this helps!

  7. One of the most important thing for preschoolers to learn is how to get along with others--i.e., etiquiette.  You should work to instill it wherever you can--say please, thank you, share--all the stuff 80-year-olds are still working on.
