Grandparents'/Special Friends' Day

We had a wonderful turnout for Grandparents'/Special Friends' Day in our class. Each of the students introduced their visitor(s) to the class and many students ran over and gave their visitor(s) a big hug! It was truly touching to see how proud the students were to have their grandparents or special friends in their class. The students shared a special poem with their visitor(s) that they composed in class. The poem started out by describing the grandparents or special friends, then compared the student with their guest, and ended describing each student. Ask your child (or your child's visitors) to share with you what they wrote. I had many laughs in class when they were describing to me what they thought about their grandparents or special friends! After sharing the poems, the students had a chance to interview their grandparents or special friends. They were allowed to share one interesting fact they learned with the class. Most answers revolved around homework and how many did not do it or waited until the last minute to get it done when they were young! Our morning ended when our visitors got to see the students present their state reports. Again, the students did an amazing job presenting the information they learned about their state. What a great day!
