My Special Grandparent
Today Division 8 and 9 students were read Shi-Shi-Etko and talked about the importance of grandparents and other elders in the lives of young people. Students are completing this sheet about an important grandparent in their life. Who are they, what are their interests and what have they taught you? Please go over the questions with your child and share any information that would be helpful with completing the activity.
