A Visit from Beebop & Pop Pop!
Our Grandparents Month adventures continued with a wonderful visit from Beebop and Pop Pop! We loved hearing their stories about what school was like when they were children.
Both Beebop and Pop Pop went to school in North Carolina. Beebop has an extra-special connection to our classroom because she was once a second grade teacher right here at Pine Street School! She also taught at several other schools throughout her teaching career, so she had plenty of school memories to share with us.
Beebop told us that her favorite book as a child was The Snowy Day because she loved snow and was always hoping for a snow day! She also remembered reading Dick and Jane books and was sweet enough to bring our class two books to keep. What a special addition to our classroom!
When Beebop was in school, everyone dressed up each day. She remembered wearing saddle oxford shoes and riding the school bus because she lived in the country and had a long way to travel to school.
Beebop also read Stephanie’s Ponytail to us, and the children absolutely loved it! There were lots of smiles and giggles as we listened.
Pop Pop shared some of his school memories, too. He walked to school each day and ate lunch in the cafeteria. He especially remembered the delicious homemade bread—and the fact that they got ice cream! We decided school lunch sounded pretty good back then!
Before they left, Beebop and Pop Pop surprised everyone with a special treat bag containing a pencil, eraser, oatmeal pie, and candy necklace!
We loved spending time with Beebop and Pop Pop and learning about their school days. Every grandparent visit gives us another little peek into the past, and we are making such wonderful memories along the way.
Thank you, Beebop and Pop Pop, for spending part of your day with Room 102! We loved having you!
