How to Connect with Your Grandchildren During a Pandemic acts as a kind of scrapbook of the ways in which one grandmother found creative ways to stay in touch with her beloved grandchildren as the world went under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. From Zoom call games of hide-and-go-seek to at-home wrestling practice between brothers, Grandma and her entire family managed to stay connected as ever, though miles apart, and their memories are chronicled here in this book.
Now primarily going by the names Grandma, Grammy, Gram Gram, and Graham Cracker, Cheryl Van Cleave had an extensive career in education, having been a teacher at an elementary school, middle school, high school, and a behavioral school and prison, with a specialization in Special Education. She also became an Assistant Principal. Van Cleave volunteered as a softball manager, baseball coach, umpire, cub scout leader, has been involved in the PTA, Welcome Wagon, and Meals on Wheels, and has tutored at schools throughout her community. Her longest-running hobby has been researching and compiling her family's genealogy.
