The Amazing Adventures of
Hugo & Val GRANDPARENTS GUIDE
One of the goals for The Amazing Adventures of Hugo & Val is to offer an opportunity for purposeful conversation with the children in your life.
Here are a few questions to get the conversation started. Take turns answering the questions with the children.
1. Did you learn about NASA and the space program in school? What did your teacher tell you? Share your memories of the lunar module landing on the moon. Where were you when the astronauts landed on the moon? Who were you with? What kind of a TV were you watching? Relive the experience with the kids. 2. Is there a new technology you remember being introduced that people will remember? Share your memories of your first cell phone or your first experience with a computer. 3. Talk about a recent historical event. Where were you? What were you doing? Discuss how to talk about that event in the future.
Days after Destination Garden Spot Village dropped in the mail last fall, we received this fun drawing of Liam Goddard and his Superhero grandparents, Tom (Pop) and Mary Lee (G-Mom) Gorman. Liam, 7, is a budding artist and a first grader at Lititz Elementary.
