Clifford the Big Red Dog Spends the Night!

 

In class we have read Clifford's Good Manners.  During the next few weeks each child will get a chance to take home a stuffed Clifford and the book.  During his sleepover your child should practice some of the good manners that Clifford talks about in the story.  Before going to bed please write a short summary of what you did with Clifford and which manners you practiced.  Below is an example from one of Clifford's sleepover last year.

•  When we got home we played with my toys until my grandparents got here.  We went to Rite-Aid, but I left Clifford at home to take a nap.  I practiced "don't talk with your mouth full" and "be a good sport".  Nana said I had good table manners.  After that I fed Clifford some dog food.  I had fun with Clifford. I hope he can come back to visit. Love, Max
• Tonight I had a great sleepover with Clifford.  I practiced saying "thank you" everytime someone did something nice for me.  Then Clifford and I wrote a thank you note to my grandma for my birthday present.  Clifford was getting tired of sitting so we went outside and played ball.  Then we had dinner.  I gave Clifford some of my chicken.  Don't tell my mom!  Then we went to bed.  Clifford told me scary stories.  I loved it. Love, Ms. Colwel

•  I was really lucky because I had Clifford for 5 days over the weekend (an extra day of practicing my good manners because I broke my arm).  I said my "pleases" and "thank you's" On Friday I took Clifford to Mom's work and when I met her coworkers I was very polite and said "Nice to meet you!" My sister Amy made Clifford a special bed and took care of him alot this weekend too! Cifford is great fun!  Love, Jesse.
