This week we finally finished our book week project on Elisabetta Dami. We chose her as our author of the week because most of our class enjoyed reading her books. Take a look at what we created. 

What is Respectfulness?

Explanation:

To be respectful in class, you have to remember your keys to character. One of the most important ones are RESPECTFULNESS. You can be respectful by:

Being polite

Taking care of yourself and those around you

Valuing the opinions of other people

Listening

Speak to others as you would like to be treated

 When someone is talking, a teacher for example, you can respect them by letting them talk and wait for them to finish so you or others may have a turn talking. 

Good Manners

 First of all, what is Good Manners?

To have good manners means:

Speaking in a nice way

Looking at the person who is talking

Answering politely when a teacher asks a question and waiting properly for your turn to speak

Always using the magic words “Please, Thank you, Excuse me” and “Sorry”

Walking behind other people and not in front

Letting them go first

Sharing, being kind

Doing what the teacher says with a pleasant manner and being positive

Co-operating

Attitude

Controlling your attitude can sometimes be a struggle. There are two types of attitudes and only one is respectful. Being positive can include:

Having a smile on your face

Don’t talking back to the teachers

Thinking the right thing

Influencing others to do the right thing

Help others

Use appropriate language

Make others feel better

Your attitude can affect others and influence others to act like you. But when you influence, there are consequences. Consequences are the result of what you do. For example: You could help a lady cross the road and she might reward you with money as a reward OR if you steal from the shops, then you’ll get a ride with the cops. 

Listening

 Listening is one of the most important values of respect. If people listen to you, it’ll be best to do the same to others. Listening includes:

Eyes forward and toward the person speaking

Sitting still

Being quiet

Keeping hands still

Smiling

 Here I’ve created a list of steps of what to do to show respect:

Listen Harder

Be Considerate

Keep Your Promise

Be On Time

Have Manners

Encourage

Be Fair

Go Out Of Your Way

Preserve Dignity

Do NOT Assume

Assuming you have no absolute idea what respect is, respect is a possession that everyone will want. Because the more respect you have the more people will notice you. Respecting has many ways of showing itself such as, using your manners, listening quietly, being polite and speaking to others as you would like to be spoken to. 

You can be respectful in class by Communicating:

Use a respectful tone of voice

Do not tease others or call them names

Follow adult requests quickly and without complaint

Pay attention in class and get our assigned work done

  Showing Good attitude and behavior:

Be sure that you are choosing a Respectful Classroom behavior daily with other pupils at the start of class to the end of the day..

Showing a positive attitude and sharing positive comments to others

Being nice to classmates even if they are not being nice to you. Karma will deal with that

Watching your behaviour because they can become actions

  Being Helpful:

Making sure your area and class is clean and tidy

Keeping in mind of your responsibilities

Leading little students and everyone around you

Helping others when they are in need

Asking if people need help

By following this Explanation you can influence others to do the same. When everybody is respectful then everyone can have fun. Make sure you share these steps, tips and facts with your friends and family.
