Grandparent's Day

My grandparents have played a very important role in my life.

My Grandma Evelyn kept me when I was a kid.
     She taught me to write my name.
     She taught me manners.
     She instilled a love for reading in me.

My Grandpa Ed continually told me how special I am.
     He gave me ice cream money.
     He always told me I was beautiful.
     He showed me that people really can love like Jesus does.

My Grandma Dot has been a Godly example in my life.
     She served our family by cooking lunch every Sunday.
     She let me spend the night with her and sleep in her bed.
     She made me laugh by making funny faces and "playing her nose."

My Grandpa Bobby has never failed to tell me he loves me.
     He gives me the best hugs.
     He teases me about Clemson in a gentle way.
     He has the best laugh ever.

My grandparents are wonderful-and so are my students'.

On Friday, I was able to welcome 13 grandparents into my classroom.

It was incredible to see how willing these grandparents were to take time out of their day to visit their grandchildren. I was so encouraged to see the support my students have from them! As we did our activities, I watched my students get loved on by these important people in their lives.

Thank you to my grandparents and to all other grandparents for being a positive influence in the lives of your grandchildren.
