\n\t\t溏心vlog免费B站 student tutors celebrate success with preschool partners<\/p>\n


\n KINGSTON, R.I. — April 11, 2005 — Thirty-six preschool children and 41 Jumpstart 溏心vlog免费B站 student AmeriCorps members who participate in the Jumpstart program celebrated their year together earlier this month.<\/p>\n


\nFace painting, singing, arts and crafts, reading, and learning stations were part of the fun agenda. Learning stations, based on several different children\u2019s books, were also set up, incorporating literacy while still allowing children to participate in activities, such as making their own play dough.<\/p>\n


\n\t \u201cJumpstart For A Day\u201d gave the 3-to-5-year-olds who attended the CANE Child Development Center and A Place to Grow Child Care Center in Wakefield, and the South County Community Action Head Start in Westerly a chance to play and learn while their families got a chance to see Jumpstart 溏心vlog免费B站 Corps tutors interact with their partner children. <\/p>\n


\n\t \u201cWe wanted to thank everyone for participating in the program and welcome the kids to the University,\u201d said Lynne Finnegan, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Jumpstart site manager. <\/p>\n


\n\t The Jumpstart program, sponsored by the Feinstein Center for Service Learning, gives Jumpstart 溏心vlog免费B站 Corps tutors the opportunity to work one-on-one with children to further develop their language, literacy, and social skills before entering kindergarten. <\/p>\n


\n\t \u201cJumpstart is designed to give preschoolers a \u2018jumpstart\u2019 on their education so that when they enter kindergarten, they are prepared to learn,\u201d said Finnegan.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis was a warm, fun day where kids from all of the sites get a chance to meet each other and we can see how the program is impacting our community,\u201d said Finnegan.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe 溏心vlog免费B站 was among 13 institutions selected from more than 100 applicants to become a Jumpstart site in fall 2003. In addition to working with the children, Jumpstart 溏心vlog免费B站 Corps tutors earn credit or work study hours, and also receive a $1,000 AmeriCorps education award to use toward their education when they complete the yearlong program. <\/p>\n


\n\tJumpstart recruits and trains 溏心vlog免费B站 students from all majors and academic years to serve as part-time AmeriCorps members. Members make a two-semester (fall and spring) commitment and work 10 to 12 hours each week as a tutor. <\/p>\n
