Life Long Ago ~




In school, Emma is learning about "life long ago"! They invited all of the grandparents to come on Friday and the kids got to interview them about how life was when they were in school. It seemed to be a learning experience for the grandparents, as well. They were speechless when they found out that they use computerized "chalk" boards now! I can't even imagine what they were thinking! Poppy (Jeb's dad) came for Emma and brought a picture of his first grade class and the school bell that they had to ring to bring the kids in. Emma was so excited to see him. I think he was just as excited to go. Poppy loves history, and loves helping Emma learn about it!
