"I'm excited to be here, it makes me feel good." Teacher Hardin and her assistant Judy White were both pleased with the performance that the + kids gave, and the reception it was given by the staff and residents at EdenGardens. "We wanted to celebrate National Kindergarten Day in special way," said Hardin. "We talked to the students about the elderly and how much they enjoy someone visiting them. Some of the EdenGardens residents used to be teachers and I'm sure they'll enjoy seeing students again." Hardin's assistant was also pleased with the prospect of the children coming to Edengardens. "This will help the kids learn about compassion and show them how much the residents love chil- dren," said White. "It puts a smile on everyone's face." The generations came together recently at EdenGardens assisted living facility in Kings Mountain. Paying a visit to EdenGardens from Grover Elementary School, nearly two dozen stu- dents of teacher Jada Hardin's kindergarten class sang songs, recited their lessons, and shared lunch with the senior citizens. Starting out their show in the EdenGardens liv- ing room, the kids launched into a rendition of the tune "Good Morning" that was straight out of the Little Rascals. After singing a song where ev- eryone told their name, selected students recited their ABCs and math tables. Throughout the per- formance, audience members beamed approval of the children's efforts. "This is just wonderful," said EdenGardens res- - ident Grace Page. "It's so nice to have children come anytime and to hear what they have to say." Following the recital, students, staff, and resi- dents retired to the lunchroom for an old-fash- ioned sit down lunch. The scene with kids and se- niors sharing tables and food harkened back to the days when extended families all lived under one roof. Though a few of the kids were a bit overawed by being on stage, most really got into the act. "I'm gonna sing and maybe count to twenty," See Grover, 4B KMMS students create projects for science show Several sixth grade students from Kings Mountain Middle School recently participated in the “Science for Preschoolers” activities at Charleston Place i in Shelby.
