Manatee Manners in the Media Center

I had so much fun working with 4th graders during their back to school orientations in the Media Center last week! To review our Manatee Manners, students worked in collaborative groups to create a skit that illustrates one of the manatee manners and how it applies in the Media Center.

Before we began, we discussed the words in this Wordle and why they are SO important to keep in mind when working in a group. Do you agree?



One observant student noticed the title of the Wordle was "Collaboration" and noted that all four words together equal collaboration. Wow, I was impressed!

Below are examples of the videos that each group created. We all agreed that most of these skits could fall under more than 1 of the Manatee Manners. 3rd grade students will watch these videos and try to guess which Manatee Manner they are showing. Great job, actors! You collaborated and had fun at the same time :)
