your name?” Show the new student where things are in the classroom Ask him to join you for lunch, too It can be lonely to be in a new school

Listen when another student answers a question Do not laugh if the answer is wrong Do not make weird faces

either Show your respect by being quiet Make the other student feel good about his answer Say, “Good job!” or

talking with teachers

You should talk with teachers in class and in the halls

Look the teacher in his eyes Say, “Hello Mr Berg How

are you?” It can make a teacher’s day! And if your teacher asks how you are, make sure you answer Say, “I am great Thanks for asking!”

In class, ask the teacher if you can go to the bathroom Say, “May I be excused, please?” Be sure it is okay before you leave

school Property

Your teacher works hard to make your classroom look nice The school also buys many supplies for students to use

Treat the classroom well Do not break the pencils Put

supplies away when you are done Your classroom will

stay nice and tidy

Your desk should be clean and organized Keep your

papers in neat piles Put crayons back in the box Do not

let your desk be a garbage dump! A clean desk shows you respect your school

And keep the top of your desk clean, too Do not doodle or scribble on it! A new student will be using the desk next year

In the lunchroom

Oh yummy! It is time for lunch Wait in the lunch line nicely

Do not stand too close to others in line And say, “Please” and “Thank you” to the lunch staff They work hard to make you a good lunch

At your seat, talk quietly with your friends at the table

Do not shout across the room That

can get loud! Invite a new friend

to sit with you It is a nice thing

to do And keep your food on

your plate or in your mouth

No food fights, please!

In many Japanese schools, students each lunch in their classrooms other students

did You Know?

Are you done eating? Take your tray to the garbage Put cans and plastic in recycling bins Make sure that the table is clean And walk out of the lunchroom—do not run.

no Germs, Please!

You are a little sick, but not sick enough to stay home When you cough, cover your mouth If you sneeze, cover your

nose It keeps others safe from your germs Say, “Excuse me!”

If you are really sick, stay home

Many people have to use the drinking fountain Keep it clean for others Do not put garbage or gum in the fountain And keep your mouth away from the spout Your germs will stay in your mouth, not on the fountain

Keep bathrooms clean And always wash your hands after you use the bathroom Don’t forget the soap, too! Stay clean

to help others stay healthy

on the Playground

Everyone loves recess You get to play on the playground!

Be nice and take turns Use the swing, but only for a little while Let another person swing Move onto the slides next

Be patient while you wait The girl on the jungle gym will

be done in a minute It will be your turn soon

Do not push others No one likes a bully Include others and ask them to play with you Be kind and others will be kind to you Games are more fun when more people play

a Bit More Polite

School is a great place to practice your good manners

Manners help everyone learn at school It is easier to eat and play with manners, too It is also easier to make friends with good manners And school is a great place to find friends Use your manners in class, the lunchroom, and on the playground Be kind and show your respect Soon others will give you an A+ for being so polite!
