Grandparents' Day 2009



Grandparents' Day 2009

Gilbert Elementary will hold our annual Grandparents' Day celebration on Tuesday, September 21, 2009. Third grade grandparents are scheduled to arrive at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. You will sign in and then walk down to our room. At 10 a.m, you will move to the gym for snack, portraits, and our school's book fair.

My students and I invite all our grandparents to visit our classroom. Your grandson or granddaughter will show you around our classroom. You will learn a little more about life in third grade. Students can fill you in on Math, Reader's, and Writer's Workshops as well as show you some of our work. You are welcome to read a book with him or her and allow the student to take an AR test on that book. We hope you are making plans to attend.

The Scholastic Book Fair is an awesome opportunity for your child to add to his or her book collection. You will be sharing the gift of reading and showing your grandchildren just how important reading is to you as well! In today's economy, I know money is tight for everyone. School budgets have all been reduced including our library's book budget. Money raised at our book fair provides much-needed funds for Mrs. Massey to purchase books and materials for all students to use.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Richardson & Class
