How Nice I Am (Sung to: “How Dry I Am")

How nice I am; I've learned to be. I raise my hand before I speak. How nice I am; I've learned to be. Sit in my chair most properly. How nice I am; my best I do. I use the words "please" and "thank you." How nice I am; try to be kind. I wait my turn and stay in line. How nice I am; I've learned to be. I say, "Sorry" and "Excuse me!" How nice I am here at my school. I try to live "The Golden Rule."

Rabbits at the Table

The rabbit twins always taste,

The food that’s on the table.

They don’t always eat it all,

But they eat as much as they’re able.

Funny or runny or something new.

They try at least a bite or two.


Table Manners

Sit nicely at your meal.

And never throw your food!

To mess the floor and table

Is considered very rude!

Sometime use your fingers.

But never use your toes.

Put food into your mouth.

But never up your nose!
