First graders´ grandparents came to school last week on Tuesday, to enjoy a sensational day, full of amusing activities, with their grandchildren.

Grandparent’s Day is a social event done once a year for K4 through first grade. This event executed and coordinated by the teachers and directives, is a way to make family bonding stronger and allow the elders to regard their grandchildren’s learning environment.

“All the students had their grandparents come and they performed songs, and poems, and sheared made gifts and cards, and had a whole day of celebration with their grandparents,” said Tyler LeClair, leading teacher in 1B.

Not only did grandparents and teachers have an awesome day, but students had the chance to enjoy certain activities they would not normally practice with their relatives.

“We sang, we invited them to dance… we played, we had lunch together and had a ton of fun,” said Luciana Serani a six year old first grade student in 1A.

Apart from enjoying of a well planned and well prepared day, the grandparents also had the chance to see how their grandchildren’s learning environment works. This was a crucial part of the event because most of the relatives worry about their family members and their learning.

“We were able to show them around the class,” said LeClair, who wanted the grandparents to leave with a good impression of his classroom.

Sadly not all students could bring their grandparents, but still had the possibility to enjoy a wonderful day playing with their friends and having an awesome lunch.

“Some of the grandparents were living in the United States so they couldn’t come, but it was nice that pretty much every student had at least one grandparent here,” added LeClair.

It was a fascinating day for all of the participants, and the environment never stopped feeling this way from the beginning to the end.

“We hanged outside a couple of welcome posters made by first graders themselves,” stated LeClair, who then mention he thought grandparents “didn’t want to leave at the end.”
