Grandparents Day!

Gavin Matthew Wallace is in the 2nd grade this year at Willard South Elementary. Last Friday was Grandparents Day and I got to attend. I just love these opportunities to see the kids in their classrooms with their teachers and other students. Here's Gavin with his teacher.

Here he is with their cubbies and backpacks in the background. I came in and Gavin had chairs set up around his chair. His folder and book was on the table. He was all ready to host his grandparents.

First, we all went into a room where they had prepared cookies and tea and lemonade for everyone. We got our refreshments and went back to the classroom.

The children did a skit where they spelled out "grandparents" and each had a speaking part. Each letter spoke to a grandparent trait.

Gavin read a book to me and read it very well. He had a sheet of paper with questions to ask me, like q. Did you have television when you were a child?" (a. It was very new and only black & white.) q. What did you play with when you were a child? (a. We put doll clothes on our puppies and kittens and pretended they were babies.) q. How did you celebrate the 4th of July? (a. Picnic and fireworks) Etc....

I had a great time! Thanks, Gavin for letting me be in your class for an afternoon!

Love you,

Mema
