Grandpapa’s Spectacles

Theme: Family

Time to start

What are the things that our grandparents need help with? How do
you help your grandparents? Tell the class about it.

Let’s read the poem and find out what happened to Grandpa’s spectacles.

Grandpapa’s spectacles cannot be found;

He has searched all the rooms, high and low, ‘round and ‘round;

Now he calls to the young ones, and what does he say?

‘Ten cents for the child who will find them today.’

Then Henry and Nelly and Edward all ran,

And a most thorough hunt for the glasses began,

And dear little Nell, in her generous way,

Said: ‘I’ll look for them, Grandpa,
without any pay.’

All through the big Bible she searches with care

That lies on the table by Grandpapa’s chair.

They feel in his pockets, they peep in his hat,

They pull out the sofa, they shake out the mat.

cents: coins mostly used
in the USA
thorough: careful and detailed
