We took a break from all our learning last week to honor those wonderful grandparents in our lives! We celebrated Grandparent's Day on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 10th and 11th. The kids were so excited to show their Grandmas and Grandpas around their room and then sing their special song for them.  They even got to make a ceramic plate together.  We appreciate the time that the grandparents took to be with us and we are also grateful to the other special loved ones that came when grandparents could not be there.  I share with you one funny story that was related to me by a Grandma that came with her grandson.  She said that before she had come to school that she had taken her grandchildren to McDonald's for lunch and they were ordering.  Her grandson  made sure that the McDonald's employee knew that they needed one "boy" Happy meal and one "girl" Happy Meal and that they also needed an "Old Lady" Happy Meal for Grandma.  Luckily, Grandma saw the humor in the statement and just wondered what would come as the prize in an "Old Lady" Happy Meal.  I find myself laughing about some of things that are said by these very bright 4 and 5 year old kids and find joy in being around them and watching them learn about their world.
