“Sid the Science Kid”

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:22:15 +0000

Generations is participating in a Hands-On Science Event at WXXI Studios (280 State Street) on Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm., featuring Sid the Science Kid. Sid the Science Kid is a television series and interactive website for children ages 3-6 that utilize comedy to promote exploration, discovery, and science readiness among preschoolers. The series was created by The Jim Henson Company with the goal of encouraging children to think, talk, and work the way scientists do by building on children’s natural curiosity about the world. It motivates preschoolers to learn and develop confidence in themselves. The show also encourages parents, caregivers, and teachers to become partners and create a “climate of curiosity” for children.

Generations 5th Annual Shoebox Drive for the YWCA

admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 22:13:55 +0000

Generations staff, children, and their families are joining together to assist those in need at the YWCA this holiday season. Many times, families in crisis need the basic necessities such as shampoo, toothpaste, hats, and mittens. We are collecting shoeboxes, which the kids will decorate, and personal items to fill them. This is a wonderful way to involve our children during this season of giving and teach them that there is so much joy in helping others!
