Join PBS Wisconsin Education at the Stout Early Childhood Conference to learn about PBS KIDS resources with a focus on diverse representation and localized learning with insights on how and why they might be used by educators. Participants will get a chance to explore the resources, design learning bundles, and develop strategies for integrating this learning into practice. 

Join PBS KIDS and explore the seasons: fall, winter, and spring hosted by PBS Wisconsin Education! The lessons have been co-designed by museum and educational partners and feature many of your PBS KIDS friends. Introduce media clips, extension activities, articles, and crafts in your library and share resources with families to strengthen a library-to-home connection. Children will learn about the world around them through science, math, and art activities. As you engage in these lessons, you can feel confident that you are helping children develop an appreciation for the changing seasons! Resources are available in English and Spanish.
