Tech Tips for Catholics

I came across Thomas Lickona’s blogpost titled “Teach Manners,” which is written for parents and mentors, but I wanted to share one part of it with you here.  It is called Alphabet Manners.  If it sounds a little childish, it is because it is used by Susan Skinner, a kindergarten teacher in Columbia, South Carolina.

So here they are:

A — Accept a compliment graciously.
B — Be on time.
C — Clean your hands.
D — Do chew with your mouth closed.
E — Elbows off the table.
F — Friendliness to others.
G — Good grooming shows self-respect.
H — Hang up your clothes.
I — Interrupt only for a very important reason.
J — Join in and include everybody.
K — Kindness to all living things.
L — Lend a helping hand.
M — Magic words: “Please” and “Thank you.”
N — Never point or laugh at others.
O — Obey the rules.
P — Pleasant tone of voice is a plus.
Q — Quiet when others are working or sleeping.
R — Remember others on special occasions.
S — Sit up straight.
T — Thank the host or hostess.
U — Use your beautiful smile.
V — Visit a friend who is lonely or sick.
W — Watch out for little ones.
X — “X” out bad habits.
Y — Yawn if you must but cover your mouth.
Z — Zip your zipper.

Okay, now go grab a book and take a seat over on the carpeted area ; )
