of Beauty and the appearance of the beast.
Courtesy
- In today’s fairy tale you will hear that the beast treated Beauty with
kindness and courtesy. - Say the word courtesy with me three times.
- Courtesy is good manners.
- Saying “please” and “thank you” are common courtesies.
Holding the door open for others is another example of courtesy.- With your partner think of another example of courtesy. [Call on
several partner pairs to share their example. Suggestions: writing a
“thank you” note; letting an older person or pregnant woman have a
seat on the bus; helping elders carry their bags; helping parents bring
the groceries into the house without being asked; helping others in
need.]
