Children Learn What Grandparents Teach

In several cultures, grandparents have been revered as the wisdom keepers. In recent years, changes have occurred in many families due to developments in transportation, new technologies, and the pursuit of lucrative careers. As a result, many families found new living locations far from where they were born and raised. Grandparents and grandchildren often get separated in the process. It is the intention of this book to recapture some of the pearls of wisdom that some grandparents have shared with their children and communities. Although the focus is on Fifth Graders, Children Learn What Grandparents Teach can prove interesting and adaptable also for students in the Fourth and Sixth Grades. The book has the potential to be a valuable gift to grandparents, children, relatives, teachers, and friends. However, it also has a high potential to be the basis for school activities, lively conversations and sharing of experiences, applications to current and past events, as well as a guide for recalling and exploring several more idioms.
