This is My Grandpa, Guillermo




Guillermo's teacher sent home a homework calendar at the beginning of the month. He is supposed to do three of the five activities a week and they are pretty fun. For example, one day he is supposed to see what melts faster, ice or ice cream. Another day he is supposed to draw a picture of a pumpkin, a moon and a bat. A few weeks ago, shortly after Will's father arrived, Guillermo was giddy over one of the assignments: Spell the name of a grandparent. It took him a minute to realize that he was named after Big Papa, but as soon as he did, a smile spread across his face and he thought he was so sneaky as he spelled G-u-i-l-l-e-r-m-o.

The next day, Will's father went with me to pick Guillermo up at school. When Guillermo saw him, his face lit up and he ran to give him a big hug. Then, he proudly walked him back Ms. Gage, the teacher's assistant in Guillermo's class, to introduce her to his grandfather, Guillermo.
