Rogers Grandparents Day Provides Opportunity to Practice Literacy

Classroom filled with adults and children gathered for an event, featuring colorful decorations and educational posters on the walls.

On May 14, 2025, Rogers kindergarten and transitional kindergarten classes invited grandparents to school for a morning of reading and discovery. Students displayed what they have been learning through Readers Workshop, a program that teaches students to apply literary skills while reading at their individual level. After hearing a story read by the teachers, students and their grandparents discussed the story using skills students have learned throughout the year. Students also read books to their grandparents, sang songs, danced and presented them with a handmade bookmark.
