Over the past two weeks, our Kindergarteners have been working with "Al" to try to teach him how to behave at school and in other situations. Some of the main topics covered with Al have included behavior in public versus private settings, on the playground, and when sharing a meal. We will also play a funny game and discuss having good manners when someone gives us a gift--especially one we aren't crazy about or already have. Here are some links to a few of the video clips we watched in class--http://disney.go.com/disneyjunior/can-you-teach-my-alligator-manners/can-you-teach-my-alligator-manners-videos-episodes
