Classroom worksheet helping children distinguish between good and poor choices.

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Making Good Choices" that helps children learn the difference between good and poor behavior choices. The worksheet has two columns: "Good Choice" (with a smiley face) and "Poor Choice" (with a frowny face). Below are several actions listed, and the task is to sort them into the correct column.

Let’s go through each action and determine whether it's a good choice or a poor choice, then explain why.

✔ Good Choices (Positive, respectful, safe behaviors)

1. Raise your hand to speak
→ This shows respect for others and follows classroom rules. It’s a polite way to get attention.

2. Play with the scissors safely
→ Using tools properly and safely is responsible behavior. It prevents accidents.

3. Say please and thank you
→ These are manners that show kindness and respect toward others.

4. Listen to the teacher
→ Paying attention helps learning and keeps the classroom calm and orderly.

5. Be nice to everyone
→ Kindness fosters a positive environment and builds good relationships.

6. Call people names ✘ Wait — this one is actually not a good choice! Let's fix that.

Wait — let’s recheck the list carefully.

Looking at the image again, here are the actual options:

- Run in the hallway
- Play during work time
- Keep hands to yourself
- Call people names
- Be nice to everyone
- Raise your hand to speak
- Play with the scissors
- Say please and thank you
- Listen to the teacher
- Tell secrets to your friend

Now let’s sort them correctly:

---

✔ Good Choices (✔)

1. Raise your hand to speak – Respectful communication.
2. Play with the scissors – Assuming it's done safely (likely implied), this is acceptable if proper care is taken.
3. Say please and thank you – Shows politeness and respect.
4. Listen to the teacher – Helps learning and maintains order.
5. Be nice to everyone – Promotes kindness and inclusion.
6. Keep hands to yourself – Prevents hurting others; shows self-control.
7. Tell secrets to your friend – If it's appropriate and private, sharing secrets can be part of friendship (but depends on context; generally okay in a trust-building sense).

> Note: "Tell secrets to your friend" is a bit ambiguous. In a school setting, it might be seen as a poor choice if it involves gossip or breaking confidentiality. But since it's paired with other kind behaviors, and likely meant to represent friendship, we’ll consider it a good choice unless otherwise specified.

✘ Poor Choices (✘)

1. Run in the hallway – Dangerous; can cause accidents or injuries.
2. Play during work time – Disrupts learning and breaks classroom rules.
3. Call people names – Bullying behavior; hurts feelings and creates a negative environment.
4. Play with the scissors – Wait — this was listed as both? Let’s clarify.

Ah! There seems to be a typo or confusion in the original image. It says:
- "Play with the scissors" — this could be dangerous if not used properly.

But in many school contexts, "play with the scissors" may mean using them *appropriately* in an art activity.

So, likely:
- "Play with the scissors" → should be Good Choice, if used safely.
- But if it means playing unsafely, it would be a Poor Choice.

However, in most educational worksheets like this, “Play with the scissors” is intended to mean using them appropriately, so it’s likely a Good Choice.

But let’s look at the full list again and decide clearly.

Final Sorting:

#### ✔ Good Choice
- Raise your hand to speak
- Play with the scissors (if used properly)
- Say please and thank you
- Listen to the teacher
- Be nice to everyone
- Keep hands to yourself
- Tell secrets to your friend (assuming mutual trust and no harm)

#### ✘ Poor Choice
- Run in the hallway
- Play during work time
- Call people names

Wait — but there are 10 items and only 2 columns. Let’s count:

Original list:
1. Run in the hallway → Poor
2. Play during work time → Poor
3. Keep hands to yourself → Good
4. Call people names → Poor
5. Be nice to everyone → Good
6. Raise your hand to speak → Good
7. Play with the scissors → Good (if safe)
8. Say please and thank you → Good
9. Listen to the teacher → Good
10. Tell secrets to your friend → Likely Good (friendship-related)

So:
- Good Choices: 6 items
- Poor Choices: 4 items

That fits the layout.

✔ Correct Answer:

| Good Choice | Poor Choice |
|------------------|------------------|
| Raise your hand to speak | Run in the hallway |
| Play with the scissors | Play during work time |
| Say please and thank you | Call people names |
| Listen to the teacher | |
| Be nice to everyone | |
| Keep hands to yourself | |
| Tell secrets to your friend | |

> Note: "Play with the scissors" assumes safe use. If misused, it's a poor choice, but in this context, it's presented as acceptable.

📝 Explanation:

This worksheet teaches children to distinguish between behaviors that help create a safe, respectful, and productive environment (good choices) and those that disrupt it or harm others (poor choices). By sorting these actions, students learn responsibility, empathy, and self-control.

For example:
- Running in hallways is dangerous → poor choice.
- Raising a hand shows patience and respect → good choice.
- Calling names is hurtful → poor choice.
- Being kind and listening promotes harmony → good choices.

---

✔ Summary:

The student should place:
- Good Choices: Raise hand, play with scissors, say please/thank you, listen to teacher, be nice, keep hands to yourself, tell secrets.
- Poor Choices: Run in hallway, play during work time, call names.
