There are many skills that can be incorporated into our grandparent program. However, writing letters and stories, creating time lines, learning about life styles in the past, creative art and music projects, and problem solving activities are the skills we focus on the most. We are hoping to incorporate technology via internet use this year. Materials Needed The basic materials for this lesson are simply using ideas and curriculum-required objectives to begin and continue a growing relationship with an adopted grandparent. Contact a nearby nursing home and ask if they will agree.
Most places are overjoyed for school children to take such an interest.
I usually ask for someone who doesn't have many visitors and who is able to correspond with my class. Contact a nearby nursing home. You will probably speak to the activity or public relations department. Find out basic information about your grandparent so you can share it with parents and children. Explain the program to the children.
