Holidays Homework for class-1 (2017-2018)

Dear Children, Summer Vacation is a welcome

break Break from fixed schedule, rules & regulations. Summer Vacation is all

about fun, frolic, getting up late in the morning, playing for longer hours with friends, going for picnics, exploring new places and watching your favourite

shows on television.

But there is a lot more that you can do to make your vacation more interesting and meaningful, along with doing all your heart desires. We have

planned some interesting activities for you. So get ready to enjoy your summer vacation!

Dear parents summer vacation comes wrapped with an amazing opportunity to spend

time with your children and get closer to them. Though instilling good manners and

etiquettes in your child is a long process, this is the best time when you can lay

emphasis and work on their life skills.

Here are some steps which will help you to give your child core values for life:

1. Teach your child to wait for their turn to speak and not to interrupt when you are

speaking. Make sure that when you are done, you give the child your full attention.

Children learn by seeing, so show them to respect others by respecting others, yourself.

2. Set the table for a family dinner, using proper dishes and cutlery. Place the forks on

one side of the plate, and the spoons and knives on the other. Add a napkin and a glass,

and place them in their proper position. Use the proper utensils as needed, as well as

the napkin. They will follow your lead and will make you proud when you take them out

to eat at a fancy restaurant.

3. Tell them the most important table manners a lot of times: Napkin on the lap,

elbows off the table, and not to eat with your mouth open.

4. Teach your child to say thank you by having them hear you say it. No matter how

young they are, never forget to say thank you to them each time they hand you over

something, even if it is their bottle.

5. Always say please each time when you ask something from your child . Children

learn by what they see and hear by their parents. A hug and kiss by you, will make sure

that they always remember to say that word.

6. Take Permission. If you want to borrow something, dont just help yourself . Ask

permission and make sure you return whatever you borrow in the same or better

condition.

7. Stay calm. Each time you start yelling or losing your temper, you may lose a little of

your child's respect.

8. Teach your child to take compliments courteously by saying thank you at

appropriate times. Children copy what they see and hear, so make it a point always to

use those words.

10. Remember to practice what you preach..!!!
