Kid's Day Pictures and PBS LearningMedia



We all had a blast at Kids Day at the Zoo and we hope you did too!! Between getting their faces painted, spending time with the Cat in the Hat, and exploring the wonderful exhibits John Ball Zoo has to offer we're sure your kiddos were in bed nice and early that night :) You can see pictures from the day here:


(Pictures can be downloaded right to your computer so be sure to save a copy of the ones you love!)


So what else have we been working on you ask?? Well, we've got a pretty exciting new website to share with you. We all know how beneficial PBS programming is for children and adults alike. You always come away knowing more than you did when the program began and now we are bringing over 14,000 high-quality resources straight to YOU for free! PBS LearningMedia is a dynamic platform offering the best of public media content produced and intended for use in the classroom. Through http://wgvu.pbslearningmedia.org/ teachers can download, save, and share exactly what they need for a dynamic and interactive classroom experience. And don't feel like you have to be a teacher to sign up! PBS LearningMedia is available for anyone who wants to LEARN and can be a great source for working with children at home. Give the website a try and let us know what you think!!

While WGVU Engage is always excited to bring you family friendly events and learning experiences, we are working on a number of more adult oriented projects as well. Currently our focus areas include Diversity, Education, Veterans, Children's Health, and the Arts. You can check out our webpage at http://www.wgvu.org/engage to see a list of what we are working on and, as always, check back here for more details, updates, and pictures!
