2 3 Dear Grandparents U Families,
Grandparents U is a program our entire team looks forward to each year! While we recognize this cannot replace the experience of being on campus, we hope that you enjoy our spin on a virtual GPU. CMU faculty, staff, and community members have worked hard to create an activity packet with our Alumni Relations team. This packet may be completed in your own space and on your own time. It is our hope that this packet will help create memorable experiences with your families while being reminded of what being a CMU Chippewa is all about. We are so excited for you to enjoy this packet with your loved ones. We would LOVE to see your photos, hear your stories, and engage with you while you complete these activities. You can share your experience by emailing us at [email protected] or by tagging @cmualum on Facebook. We look forward to hosting you all on campus in 2021 for the 14th Annual Grandparents U. Fire up Chips! 5 Central Michigan University
6 7 Ask President Davies
What is your favorite spot on campus? The seal. Students and their families come to the seal to celebrate milestones. Whether they are there to celebrate being accepted to CMU as a new student, their first week on campus, a great academic accomplishment or graduation, students come to the seal with friends, family and supporters to take pictures. It is truly a place of celebration.
What is your favorite CMU memory? When I spoke to the incoming freshman class in September 2019, it was as both CMU’s president and also as a CMU parent. At one point in my remarks, I asked the students to turn to their parents or guardians and thank them for supporting them on their journey and give them a hug. I knew my daughter was thanking and hugging her mom and, from a distance, me. It was a very proud moment for us as a family.
What is your favorite song to dance to? I’m not a terrific dancer, but I love the song “Life Changes” by Thomas Rhett. If you listen closely to the lyrics, he talks about his college experience. It’s a terrific song.
What are your favorite movies for movie night? I’ve always enjoyed “Field of Dreams,” “Hoosiers,” and “Spy Game” with Robert Redford.
What is your go-to movie snack? Reese’s peanut butter cups…Reese’s Pieces…really anything with chocolate and peanut butter!

One Room Schoolhouse
Bohannon Schoolhouse Travel 100 years back in time and step into the Bohannon Schoolhouse! Now part of the CMU Museum, this school operated for nearly 50 years, teaching children from ages six to sixteen. The building that still exists today was built in the year 1901 and was in Jasper Township of Midland County. Overall, the building was 24 feet wide, 40 feet long, and 30 feet high, just a single room with one door at the front of the building.
Most students who attended the school were raised on farms and had to do morning chores before walking to school. Though the chores didn’t stop there! Students would help by starting the fire for the school’s wood stove, sweeping the floor, cleaning chalkboards and dusting the erasers. Still, students found ways to have fun through games and pranks.
Children of the time enjoyed games like baseball and tag when the weather was nice. On rainy days, they invented new games to play. Rubber-band wars and darts were two they played inside. Another way the students had fun was by pranking their teacher! Often, kids would hide snakes or frogs in their teacher’s desk, or dip girls’ braids into inkwells. One big prank they pulled was stealing a wagon, taking it apart, carrying parts onto the roof of the schoolhouse, and then putting it back together!
30 A Look at the Bohannon Schoolhouse A lot has changed since classes were taught in one-room schoolhouses. Look at the pictures and read the questions with your grandparent(s). Together, discuss how each of your school experiences compare and contrast with a one-room schoolhouse.
31 32 A Typical Day in the Bohannon Schoolhouse You may wonder what it was like to attend a one-room schoolhouse. Mrs. Laurence Aldrick, a former student of the Bohannon School, describes a typical school day. Each lesson includes ideas of things you can do to recreate a one- room schoolhouse at home!
9:00 a.m. Music “We sang songs from our songbook, “The Golden Book of Favorite Songs.” Sometimes we recited the “Pledge of Allegiance.” Sing a song, listen to music, or create some of your own!
9:15 a.m. Reading "Each grade would go up front to a long bench, called a recitation bench, and the students in the class would take turns reading aloud until the lesson was done. Sometimes, the teacher would let an older student listen if she was too busy.” Curl up with a good book to read yourself, or practice reading aloud to someone at home.
10:30 a.m. Recess “Everyone was dismissed for fifteen minutes to get a drink and use the outside toilets.”Remember to be active! Stretch or take time to play in the yard.
10:45 a.m. Arithmetic “Each grade would go to the blackboard and work problems. A lot of the work was put on the blackboard and the students would have to copy it. Each grade had their own blackboard." Have some fun practicing math! Find a game online or create flashcards to challenge yourself and family.
12:00 p.m. Lunch “Everyone had one hour for lunch. If you finished your lunch early you had the rest of the time to play.” Get a healthy lunch to fuel your body and mind! Healthy eating also helps your immune system.
1:00 p.m. Story time “The teacher would read a chapter in a story from our library. This library was a small cupboard with glass doors, but the doors got broken off, so it looked like bookshelves which were four shelves high and about six feet long. Sometimes they could get the teacher to read two chapters. Occasionally a smaller child would go to sleep while listening.” Who can you share a story with? Have someone read you a story or read one to them!
33 A Typical Day in the Bohannon Schoolhouse 1:15 p.m. Penmanship “Everyone practiced writing a lesson and the teacher would go around and check it.” Practice your handwriting by making a journal of your day or write a letter to someone you care about.
1:30 p.m. Spelling and Language “Sometimes we had a spelling bee but usually we just worked in our books.” Have an at-home spelling bee, learn some new vocabulary, or practice a new language!
2:15 p.m. Recess “Another fifteen-minute break. At this time, the students in grades kindergarten through fourth were dismissed.” Get up and move again!
2:30 p.m. History, Geography and Spelling “With the younger children gone home, the teacher could go into these subjects on a higher level.” What special subjects would you want to learn about? Research some history or try out a science experiment!
4:00 p.m. School Dismissed!

Paper Plate Habitat
Materials: 2 white paper plates (non-glossy) 2 brads Scissors Hole punch Glue Crayons, coloring pencils, or markers PDF of animal outlines (provided)
Directions:
Cut one of the paper plates in half. One half of the paper plate will become the “grass.” Cut the other half of the paper plate into the shape of a tree. 1 Example shown.
Color the “tree” background and color the “grass” background on the paper plate halves. The “grass” background will be labeled “below ground.” 2 3
On the full paper plate, draw a line dividing it in half. This line should line up with your cut out half paper plate. The top half of this plate will be your “above ground.” The bottom half should be lightly colored to represent dirt.
36 Paper Plate Habitat Line up the grass and the full paper plate. Using the hole punch, punch a hole in the top left corner of the half plate or “grass” and use a brad to secure the two together.
4
Line up the “tree” so it is side by side with the top of the “grass.” Using the hole punch, punch a hole in the top left corner of the “tree” and use a brad to secure. 5
You can now move the grass to uncover below ground habitat, and the tree can stand revealing the above ground habitat. (When the tree is in standing position, fill in the white segment in between the tree and the “dirt” to complete the tree.
6
37 Paper Plate Habitat Cut out each of the animal outlines. Arrange them by their group. Tree animals: nest, frog, squirrel, woodpecker, and katydid Above ground animals: armadillo, fox, racoon, and bear Below ground animals: mouse, rabbit, snake, toad and tortoise. Color each animal and then arrange and glue the animals in their habitats. Be careful not to glue any animals on both the moveable tree and the background. This will hinder your ability to fold the tree up and down.

121 Movie Snacks A movie night isn't complete without a snack. Try creating a fun flavor of popcorn to enjoy on during your movie. Classic Movie Theater: Melt 1 stick butter in a small saucepan over low heat, skimming off the foam and solids; drizzle over 16 cups hot popcorn and toss with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
Kettle Corn: Mix 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl; set aside. Heat a few popcorn kernels in 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until one pops. Add 3/4 cup popcorn kernels and cover. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the popcorn starts rapidly popping. Crack the lid open and pour in the sugar mixture. Cover and cook, shaking the pot, until the popping subsides.
Three-Cheese: Toss 16 cups hot popcorn with 2 cups shredded cheddar, 1 cup grated parmesan and 1/2 cup grated pecorino; spread on baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F until the cheddar melts, 3 minutes. Season with salt.
Barbecue: Melt 4 tablespoons butter with 1 teaspoon each cumin, paprika, granulated garlic, chili powder and barbecue sauce, and a pinch of cayenne; toss with 12 cups hot popcorn and 4 cups lightly crushed barbecue potato chips. Season with salt.
Ranch: Melt 4 tablespoons butter with a 1-ounce packet ranch seasoning mix; toss with 16 cups hot popcorn and 2 tablespoons chopped chives. Season with salt. Savory Frito Pie: Toss 12 cups hot popcorn, 6 tablespoons melted butter, 4 cups Fritos (or other corn chips) and 2 tablespoons chili powder; spread on baking sheets. Top with 2 cups shredded cheddar and 2 chopped scallions. Bake at 350 degrees F until the cheese melts, 3 minutes. Season with salt.
Pepperoni Pizza: Cook 1 cup chopped pepperoni in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot until crisp; drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings. Pop 3/4 cup popcorn kernels in the drippings; toss with the pepperoni, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon each granulated garlic and dried oregano. Season with salt. Sweet Cinnamon Sugar: Drizzle 6 tablespoons melted butter over 12 cups hot popcorn; toss with 4 cups cinnamon cereal (such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch), 1/3 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
Rocky Road: Whisk 5 tablespoons melted butter with 2 teaspoons each vanilla extract and kosher salt; drizzle over 16 cups hot popcorn. Toss with 2 cups each mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and toasted pecans. Spread on baking sheets and bake at 350 degrees F until the marshmallows and chocolate are slightly melted, about 2 minutes.
S'mores: Make Rocky Road Popcorn, replacing the pecans with lightly crushed graham crackers.
Peanut Butter: Heat 1 cup honey and 3/4 cup sugar over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup peanut butter and 1 teaspoon each vanilla extract and kosher salt until smooth; pour over 16 cups hot popcorn and 2 cups peanuts and toss. Spread on baking sheets and let cool. For PB & Banana add 1 cup dried banana chips and 1/2 cup chocolate chips with the peanuts.
