Explore Sesame Street’s storybook builder, plant seeds with Nature Cat, make soup with Elinor and lots more. This month’s calendar of activities is full of great teaching and learning ideas. March themes are maps and spatial skills, reading and writing, the five senses and celebrating spring.
Explore the cosmos and key moments in the history of the universe with your students. In this series state-of-the-art animations illustrate current models of astronomical events past and present—from the birth of stars being born today to the beginning of space and time itself.
Engage your students with video from the series, contextualized for the classroom and aligned to science standards. Teacher and student materials will support your media use.
So far we have completed 18 of our 36 workshops for the year. It’s been a great time of sharing and learning with Early Childhood providers all over the state. There are still plenty of sessions left for you to join.
You can find links and descriptions to the sessions below. All Ohio PBS stations are doing workshops so be sure to look for these courses in OCCRRA. We have lots of books and resources to share with our attendees.
