Grandparents and Special Friends Day is a school-wide event. Students can invite their Grandparents or a special friend (Aunt, neighbor, or parent, etc.) to join them in the classroom for a small tour of their classroom and school work. Grandparents and Special Friends Day is usually for a portion of the school day, during a fall school day. Check the weekly newsletter for a specific date and time. If you have a grandparent that is unable to attend, your child may send a postcard or letter requesting that grandparent send a letter to your child at school. Your child’s teacher can read the letter to your child and the entire class, and then find where on the map the grand parent is living. This is a way everyone can see how much your child is loved by his/her grandparent.
The day’s festivities will begin when the teachers invite everyone into the classroom. The children will greet their grandparents or special friend and show them the many activities of his/her kindergarten classroom. Half-way through the celebration, an announcement will be made to indicate the time and grandparents/special friends may move on to another classroom to spend the last half of their time with a sibling.
Unfortunately, each year we have one or two students who do not have a Grandparent or Special Friend available to visit. As you can imagine, this can make a young child very upset to see “everyone has a visitor except me”. Please ask the Grandparent or Special Friend you send to include any children that are alone. Thank you!
