Grandparents Day

Grandpa "Papa" Lund with Dax and Derek, September 9, 2010

Today is Grandparents Day. This week the kid's school had a day to invite Grandparents into the school. When they first brought home the flyer, I didn't think anything of it because my Dad is the closest Grandparent in Flagstaff and he is usually busy during the week doing his work at NAU. Dax said he still wanted to invite Papa so he called him up and invited him. Surprisingly Papa made arrangements to come down for this. 

 He went to Dax's class first, which was during his reading class, He came home very impressed. They just showed them the work that they were doing. Dax wrote a story about a Pirate ship turning to legos. (Maybe our recent trip inspired him) Papa thought it was a great story. Then he showed him a power point presentation he had done on Rabies. They had just read the story "Old Yeller" and then learned about rabies. This could not have been more appropriate since my dad loves dogs so he thought it was a great thing for them to learn about. Then he went back after lunch to check out Derek's class. He was very impressed with what the first graders were doing on the computer. They are both good students and doing well in school, so it was nice for them to have a chance to show off Hancock Elementary, an A+ school, and the work they do. I think Papa was pleasantly surprised. We were glad he made the effort to come down.
