Week 28: Happy Grandparents' Day


February 28, 2020
Noah C. and Braden

We had the book fair this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and on Friday we have 
grandparents day. Preschool through kindergarten had it on Thursday. We had to eat lunch 
in our classroom because all of the books take up the commons. There are so many books! 
On Wednesday Miss. Preusser’s mom came in and talked to us about deaf kids and how 
hearing aids work because this week we are learning about disabilities in Literature.

From Mrs. R:

Thank you, families for such great participation for our Grandparents Day. I enjoyed meeting 
your families. We had lots of fun playing our Generation Gap game with questions like:

How did you and Grandpa/Grandma meet?
What was your first Halloween costume?
What is your favorite Bible story?

Intermixed with these questions were: Pictionary, charades, Humdingers, and Proverbs. 
Other rooms were photo craft, Kahoot, interviews, games, bingo, and an Old Time Scavenger Hunt.
The relationship of older generations with youth is a treasure! 


3rd Quarter ended today. Please be patient with updates to Sycamore as teachers are 
catching up with the end of the quarter and several absent assignments. Report cards will
 come home next Friday. Now is a great time to help your child reflect on his or her progress 
and set goals for the home stretch!!
