The program is called Manners of the Heart and it is targeted for grades K-3rd. Each school will choose one grade to implement the program in and CEC will provide a Manners of the Heart teaching kit in each classroom for that grade level. CEC hosted a training session for teachers from participating schools on April 25. In addition, CEC plans to encourage other local businesses and community leaders to help make the curriculum available to every school in our area. Ala. The curriculum includes topics such as everyday courtesies, communication skills and table manners.
Character development is vital for young children.
Ida Sue Bracewell, an elementary teacher at Straughn School shares her thoughts about the program. I'm very excited about the program, Manners of the Heart. Parents and PTO leaders also attended the workshop. Darlene Blount expresses her opinion of the program from the parents perspective. I think that Manners of the Heart is a good program to put in our area schools.
