Grandparents' and Goodies Day!

Mrs. Rhone’s and Mrs. Skal’s Kindergarten classes celebrated Grandparents’ and Goodies Day on this week’s Fun Friday. The kindergarteners sang, danced and kept rhythm to the song entitled “Grandparents’ Day” to the tune of Take Me to the Ball Game. After this special performance, each kindergartener presented their grandparent(s) with a special keepsake of their handprint accompanied with a poem. Then the kindergarteners built and shared an ice cream sundae with their grandparent(s) as one would in an old-fashioned ice cream shoppe. Afterwards, the grandparents were invited to the classrooms for a tour by their grandchild. This special engagement is a creative way of meeting the Pennsylvania Early Childhood Standards in Music and Movement and Social/Emotional Development. Mrs. Rhone’s and Mrs. Skal’s volunteer foster grandparents, Ms. Norine Jenner and Ms. Betty Walker were thanked and recognized for their hard work and dedication in the kindergarten classrooms. Extra special thanks for to Mrs. Linda Cole-Koloski, our Food Service Manager and our custodial staff for making this day possible. Please look for our upcoming article in the Scranton Times.
