Manners Matter!

G.A.T.E. students have been learning about ETIQUETTE in class!  Students have practiced setting a table, putting their napkins in their laps, pulling out chairs for the ladies, and all kinds of great manners! G.A.T.E. students will travel to the Birmingham Museum of Art on April 10th and 11th to tour the permanent art collection with the Color My World tour.  Docents will lead students through the galleries so that they can see first-hand the art they have been studying.  After our tour parents, grandparents, and students will dine in the museum restaurant, Oscar's at the Museum.  Students have made place cards for themselves and their guests which will be on the tables for our etiquette luncheon.  Students will "graduate" from our etiquette unit by using the great manners they have learned in class.  Enjoy a few photos of students setting the table in our "Table Setting Challenge!"  Check back soon for pictures of our field trip!
