Makey Makey Manners

Second graders spend many weeks learning about good manners in Social Studies class.  They cover such areas as classroom manners, telephone etiquette, manners at a friend's house, etc.  At the end of their manners unit, students and parents attend the annual Manners Banquet held at a local restaurant.  This gives the students time to showcase their new manners.

We created interactive manner review boards using Makey Makeys.  Students recorded three good manners to use when in a particular situation.  Then they created display boards using pizza box lids and Makey Makeys.

This project was a great way to directly incorporate a Social Studies unit and coding.
