Our students were fantastic hosts, and our guests were treated to a morning full of learning, fun and memorable moments. Here are some of the activities that took place at TDS!
TK – Students graphed the number of grandmothers v. grandfathers. There was also an Estimation Jar, and one grandmother walked away with LOTS of animal crackers!
Kindergarten – Everyone enjoyed a fruit feast and made turkeys to celebrate the holiday.
First Grade – Students and grandparents worked together on stories about the nighttime sky, and they made wax-paper stars to create a lasting memory.
Second Grade – In order to imagine what meals were like on the Mayflower, students and guests tried a snack of beef jerky and crackers.
Third Grade – Students and guests made acrostic poems, expressing thanks for many things in their lives.
Fourth Grade – Students shared many projects (risk takers, stock market) with grandparents and friends.
Fifth Grade – Students shared GFGA projects, and they delivered letters of appreciation that they had written to their grandparents.
Middle School students and guests were busy as well – using data from grandparents about the cost of various items many years ago for a linear interpolation project in math, and doing pushups and step-ups to calculate muscle power in science.
