Grandparent's Day

VII Communication
Episode
This morning was our beloved Grandparent's Day. When the bell rang the halls were packed with grandparents. There was a good turn out, more than most were expecting. The morning was a little unorganized, but eventually we helped direct all the grandparents to the correct homerooms. The children found their grandparents. Grades K-2 headed down to the cafeteria to have a snack with their grandparents. Grades 3-5 headed down the hallway to have their picture taken with their grandparent. About 45 minutes later the two groups switched. No formal activities were planned in the classrooms, but the grandparents got to observe and help with whatever the class was doing.

It was a shortened day. Classroom specials were still going but just on a shortened schedule. Lunch started at 10:30, so not a whole lot got accomplished in the morning.

Analysis:
It was such a fun day. I had an amazing time meeting all the grandparents. The morning was a little crazy, but it was so good to see the heritage and bridge the gap of generations. Behavior seemed to be at a prime. The students handled themselves during the busy day and abnormal scheduled day. Thursday and Friday the student will have the days off because we have parent teacher conferences.
