Seniors' Appreciate Program

     This afternoon our school invited all seniors from the community to a special program!  The Grade Ones performed two numbers:  a poem called "Grandma's Spectacles" and a song entitled "Let's Go See Our Grandparents".  I've printed the words below the picture just in case your child wants to recite and sing for you!

Let's Go See Our Grandparents (to the tune of Take Me Out to the Ballgame)
Let's go see our grandparents
Take us there for a while
Mommy and Daddy both need a break
We'll play games and we'll stay up real late

Oh we want to thank our Grandparents
For all the things that they do
So  it's ...  time...  to...  say
"You're the Best! And that WE LOVE YOU!"

Grandma's Spectacles
These are grandma's spectacles,
This is grandma's hat.
This is the way she folds her hands,
And puts them in her lap.
These are Grandpa's spectacles
This is Grandpa's hat
And this is the way he folds his arms
And THAT IS THAT!

     Just a reminder to listen to your child read the sentences on the green sheet they are bringing home ("heart word" sentences) as well as the new poem in their Poem Duotang.
     We will be starting our Home Reading Program on Monday.  Look in your child's ziploc bag for their "Home Reading Duotang" and a little book that they can read to you!
Have a great weekend!
