Get your students talking about their grandparents in class!
It's a special day (September 7th, 2014) that follows the same footsteps as Mother's Day and Father's Day and is celebrated on each Sunday after Labour Day weekend in both Canada and the US. Students will love to be able to talk about their family's history and honor their grandparents for all that that they do or did. >>>
