This is what respect looks like in kindergarten:

• Using appreciations for each other, not put downs.
• Saying "please", "thank you", "excuse me" and "I'm sorry".
• Listening attentively to what other say.
• Looking the speaker in the eye.  (We listen with our ears and our eyes.)
• Taking care of our classroom materials.
• Using our hands for helping not hurting.
 

This is what responsibility looks like in kindergarten:

• Remembering to bring his/her take home folder and library/snuggle book to school.
• Listening to the lessons and instructions from the teacher.
• Taking responsibility for his/her actions/behaviour.
• Following rules without being told.
• Asking for help when needed.
• Finishing his/her work to the best of his/her ability.
• Keeping our classroom tidy and clean.  (E.g., Cleaning up a spill at snack time., Throwing garbage in the garbage can instead of leaving it on the table/floor.)
 

This is what honesty looks like in kindergarten:     

• Telling the truth, regardless of the consequence.
• Admitting when he/she is wrong.
• We follow the rules and don't take things that don't belong to us.       
• We keep promises and encourage others to be truthful.   
• We care about what we say and do so others will trust us.
