This week, we will learn about appreciation and courtesy. Appreciation means recognizing and valuing the help or kindness shown by others. Courtesy refers to polite behavior towards others. Here are some ways to show appreciation and courtesy:
- Saying Thank You: When someone helps us, it’s important to say “thank you.”
- Using Please: When asking for something, saying “please” shows we are polite and considerate.
- Greeting Others: A simple “hello” or “good morning” makes others feel welcomed and valued.
By practicing appreciation and courtesy, we contribute to a friendly environment where everyone feels happy and respected.
