MAKING GOOD FIRST IMPRESSIONS, INTROS, AND WRITING THANK YOU NOTES (Ages 7-12) As the old saying goes, "You have only one chance to make a good first impression." This session is designed to instill the importance of good manners when being introduced to people for the first time. Children will learn how to introduce themselves and others and stay engaged through role-playing scenarios. Further, youngsters are taught the basic guidelines of writing thank you notes as a means of showing someone they are appreciated. They'll practice with supplies such as cards, markers, pens, and stickers. Students take home a handout of information presented in class.
