Grandparents Day

September 27, 2013 by Tamara

Just wanted to share with you some fun that I had with my kids not too long ago! ๐Ÿ™‚  Do you guys celebrate Grandparents Day with your learners?  I lost both of my grandparents when I was fairly young, and so this is a classroom celebration that  I really enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚  I love to see them dote on all the kids even through their imperfections…help them….cuddle with them…and make them feel as though they are the most important little person in the world. ๐Ÿ™‚  I was the first and only grandchild for a while and when I got to be with my grandparents…who lived in a different country…I always knew I was the apple of their ‘collective grandparenting eye’! ๐Ÿ™‚

I used a pack by Kindergarten Squared that was full of cute things to do on our special day!

My favorite activity from the pack is something called ‘Roll A Grandparent’!
The students got to create a grandparent on paper based on the number they rolled!  It was tons of fun! ๐Ÿ™‚
We read poems and sang songs out of our poetry journal!
We wrapped up the morning’s activities with some shared reading with the Grands!
I think they had a lot of fun watching the kids and participating in our classroom for the morning! ๐Ÿ™‚
Who wouldn’t love sharing the morning with such sweet folks! ๐Ÿ™‚
I hope you’ll try Grandparents Day in your own classroom! ๐Ÿ™‚
