We are making a homeschool tradition of having Grandparents Night to showcase what we have learned through the year. This has several benefits:
- Good motivation at the end of the school year to finish strong
- Great way to review and present projects
- Practice presentation skills
- Assure the Grandparents (and yourself) that you have learned something this year – that you are making good educational choices for your children
Here are some ideas from our Grandparent’s Night last year:
- Recite Bible verses and poems
- Read a short story or a summary of a story
- Do a mini spelling and/or math bee
- Present a few projects: including a model of a tabernacle, an art chalk drawing
- Sing a few songs (months of the year for my preschooler and the books of the Bible by my second grader)
- Present our notebooks (which were by no means elaborate, but just a few samples of handwriting or maps or whatever).
- A song on the piano
