Join PBS KIDS and explore Spring with the Changing Seasons collection on PBS LearningMedia! Children will learn about the world around them through science, math, and art activities. Learn about seeds, parts of a plant, and how plants grow through video clips, extension activities, articles, and crafts.  Strengthen school-to-home connection with activities, articles and games for families. As you engage in these lessons, you can feel confident that you are helping children grow up great!

It’s hard to know how to explain tragic events to young children, or how much information to share. It’s also hard to know if your way of helping them with their fears and anxieties is “the right way” but there are ways to help them feel safer and more secure …and build hope for a more peaceful, kinder future. KET has curated a list of resources in hopes of providing families with a starting place for those difficult conversations taking place about violence in our community.
