Grandparents Day at SMOS 2009

Thanks to Grandma Debbie for the photos!

Every year at St. Margaret, we honor our grandparents or other the V.I.P. in our lives by inviting them to come to our school for a celebration. I invited my Grandma Debbie to spend the day with me. First, the grandparents come in the morning for a quick coffee and social hour. Then, they head to the classrooms for to meet our teachers and friends and see the work that we've been doing. I was in a different Montessori class last year with different teachers so Grandma Debbie really liked being able to see the new classroom that I am in this year and meeting all 4 of my new teachers. After we got settled in, my class treated the grandparents and V.I.P.'s to a few songs. This year we sang: Leaves Are Falling, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and another song that I can't remember right now. Eventually, our grandparents went into the gym for a whole school performance. The best part was when we got to sing Do-Re-Mi from the Sound of Music. If you ever want me to sing it for you, I can do the chorus pretty well.

After the program was over, I went home with Grandma Debbie for the afternoon. We made Christmas tree ornaments from dough and then painted them after they hardened. It was a fun day and I especially liked making my own ornaments.
