=== Presentation ===<br />
<br />
#Discuss about the reasons for showing courtesy and respect for others. <br />
#Discuss about greeting each other.<br />
#For a small group of children, the Directress chooses two and asks them to talk to each other. <br />
#The Directress then shows how to intervene in a polite manner. <br />
#For example, when approaching two or more people who are talking together - pause, wait for a suitable time to interrupt, then say "Excuse me" before stating the reasons for interposing. <br />
#At the end, say 'Thank you'.<br />
#Show the children that when they need to talk to you and need you, tap the Directress's shoulder and say 'Excuse me'. <br />
#If the Directress is busy and can not attend to the child immediately, touch the child's hand. <br />
#This is to signify "I heard you. I am not ready yet. I will be with you as soon as I can'. <br />
#The child should understand that and wait.<br />
#Another occasion where 'Excuse me' is warranted is when they are walking and someone is in their path. <br />
#Say 'Excuse me' and wait for the other person to move away before continue walking. <br />
#Remember to sat 'Thank you'.<br />
#Discuss about other forms of greeting, for e.g. "Please, "Thank you". <br />
#Show examples of when and how to say it.<br><br />
