This culminates a school-wide theme study on Grandparents. Grandparents are offered the opportunity to read or talk to the class. Students enter pictures of themselves with their grandparent in a contest and the winner receives a poster-size blow up of the picture. One day a week is set aside for this. Two classes are chosen on a rotating basis each week.
Parents come during their lunch hour and enjoy eating with their child.
When parents visit their child for lunch they are invited to come early or stay late to make games that will benefit their child. Our parent coordinator and classroom teachers determine the skills for each grade level. Science Day Second and Third graders are involved in the Science Day. They are asked to make a science project either at home or in the enrichment room. When all the projects are finished, they are displayed and the children explain and demonstrate theirs for parents and community members.
