Posting Date(s)
A research project at 91探花 is looking for volunteers who enjoy gardening, cooking, and working with children. Dr. Lyndsay Moffatt, assistant professor of education at 91探花, is looking for 23 elders (50+), and 23 young adults (16-30) or adults (30-50) who are willing and able to meet approximately once a month during the school year to plant seeds, make food, sing, talk, and tell stories with Kindergarten students.
Dr. Moffatt is studying how this kind of intergenerational project can support the kindergarten language and literacy curricula. To participate in 鈥淪tart With A Seedling,鈥� volunteers will need an up-to-date police record check. This police record check is free if you present a letter from Dr. Moffatt that outlines the study.
Interested? Contact Dr. Moffatt at lemoffatt@upei.ca or (902) 620-5177.
鈥淪tart With A Seedling鈥� is supported by a Joint Education Research Grant (JERG) from the Prince Edward Island English Language School Board, 91探花鈥檚 Faculty of Education, and the PEI Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, as well as a Charlottetown Micro-grant.
