Grandparents Day at granddaughter Molly Kate’s kindergarten in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was a delightful first for grandparents Baboo and Nana.
All the grandparents packed our grandchildren’s classroom, proud planets
circling our own little suns.
Molly Kate applies scissor skills to the
outline of a grandparent’s hand.
Each student worked together with one to four adults on a
well-planned, simple craft.
Thanks to other grandparents, I was able to have a turn in one
of the extra little classroom chairs so that I could work with Molly Kate. All
four of her grandparents traced the outline of one of their hands and wrote a
note to our granddaughter on the paper hands before she cut them out.
She used the hands and other embellishments to decorate a
construction paper placemat. Her teachers later laminated the
granddaughter-grandparent creation as Molly Kate’s take-home reminder of Grandparents
Day 2013.
My reminders of the kindergarten’s happy celebration are the above “from-where-I-sit” snapshots and the photos below that an obliging
teacher’s assistant snapped.

ReplyDeleteLOVE Grandparents's day. Hoping we will be able to attend our grandkid's school events like this. Being retired should free up the time to do so. Love your photos of the day.
