Lesson Plan
Manners Matter Magic Lesson Plan
Students will learn and practice basic classroom and social manners—greetings, saying please and thank you, and proper table manners—to build confidence and respectful interactions.
Teaching manners helps first graders develop positive relationships, a supportive classroom environment, and self-confidence as they interact politely with peers and adults.
