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.
