Discovery Day Event Serves 240 area school students
Monday April 23 Ms. Fryer and 35 of her EDUC 300 students hosted a Discovery Day Event on campus that served 240 local Pre K- 1st graders. Marywood Undergraduate students planned the theme "Dr. Seuss on the Loose" and the activities for each station. Each station was based on one of the Dr. Seuss books. Students created interactive experiences based on Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. The students created flyers and invited their cooperating teachers/classes from their practicum placements. Children came from the following early childhood centers/schools for an educational field trip at Marywood:
St. Mary's of Mt. Carmel (PreK, Kdg, & 1st gr.)
All Saints Academy (PreK, Kdg, & 1st gr.)
