Magic Words Matter Lesson Plan

Students will explore and practice polite phrases like “please” and “thank you,” then create a Gratitude Tree to express things they appreciate.

Teaching manners and gratitude early builds social skills, fosters kindness, and helps children understand how polite behavior makes everyone feel valued and respected.
