“I love this kit. This is the EASIEST way to find great learning resources by age and content area. If you enjoy this collection of resources, there are 3 other planning kits that come with recorded webinar tutorials and evergreen activities within a bundled curriculum.”
Highlights dozens of great resources and lessons you can use with your students—regardless of grade level—through the end of the school year. Find free professional learning opportunities and support for your students’ families.
The latest videos from our popular Mister Chris and Friends series, are digital shorts that guide children and their families through special daily moments: waking up, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning up, and going to bed. This video shorts series welcomes Elephant, a new friend who joins Mister Chris for these activities. Each video has a new original song and features a peek into lives and routines in our community thanks to participation from viewers.
“Routine helps children process what they feel, see, touch and hear each day. Our hope is that these videos help little ones engage with five special everyday moments in a time when many of their routines have been disrupted,” said Chris Dorman. “And we hope our new friend, Elephant, helps families smile, giggle, and maybe even shed a joyful tear or two together.”
These videos are available to watch below, and at vermontpbs.org/misterchris, where families can also watch full episodes of seasons one and two!

Summer Learning
Here are a few quick tips to help keep your kids excited about learning this season:
Ask lots of questions. Encourage your kids to participate in conversations by asking them questions like: "Why do you think that happened? What will happen next?"
Encourage kids to search for answers. When your children ask you “why?” see if you can work together to figure out what they need to know or do to find the answer.
Try something new. Summer is a great time to try new things like reading a new kind of book, tasting a new food or exploring a new park.
Just have fun. Summertime comes along only once a year, so make sure to have fun while you’re learning.
Play and learn your way this summer! You can explore and play with your child all season long with a variety of free resources from PBS KIDS. Spark curiosity and creativity with hands-on activities, tips, and games around different themes supporting literacy, math, science, and life skills. Get started here with summer fun for the whole family!
