What better way to spend a holiday weekend than playing an all new game we created for @almasway? Play with Alma's family, or grab your own sibling for a classic game of Dominos together!

Step 1 - vote!
Step 2 - draw! (or something else that is comforting, creative, joy-filled!)

Thanks, @wendymac!

We've heard a lot about helicopter parenting, but this concept of lighthouse parenting from @TheAtlantic shares another way we can be a grounded presence in kids' lives while still giving autonomy.

This look from @nytimes at @NHM_London's Evolution Garden puts dinosaurs in a whole new perspective - a way to literally walk through history!

We love the new wave of creatives that are changing the world of poetry, and who we can take current inspiration from in our teaching and learning! A great collection from @mindshiftkqed.

Our favorite way to welcome Autumn! 🍂

It's Strega Nona Fall Y'all

We're excited for our newest game with @ElinorWonders - a creativity tool with the added delight of nature prompts, stickers, and textures! 🎨 🌻The perfect way to create art that encourages curiosity and connects to our wonderful world.

Play on the @PBSKIDS site or games app!

As Fall quickly approaches, we can imagine a spooky board game night with So You've Been Cursed, by LudiCreations on @Kickstarter.

Thanks to @pbsteachers for telling the stories of historical moments in government, like the first Asian American woman in Congress, Patsy Mink!

[PBS Teachers @pbsteachers]

Introduce your students to Patsy Mink, the first Asian-American woman to serve in Congress. Hear what motivated her commitment to advance civil rights in this PBS LearningMedia resource. #WomensEqualityDay

Another enjoyable listen on a car ride with the whole family - @AnorakMagazine's Happy Podcast for Kids! For all the collectors out there, we especially enjoyed this episode's question of how items get chosen for museums.

We may never get the chance to summit Mount Everest, but we're blown away by this four minute drone footage taking us from base camp to the top! A fun post from @thekidshouldsee!

There's no better time than before the official end of summer to try out these road trip games from @pbskids!

We're loving the 90's nostalgia with this Polly Pocket-esque virtual garden game on @kickstarter. So cute!

An enlightening video from @edutopia on the profound benefits that pushing into the discomfort of "productive struggle" can have on learning!

[edutopia @edutopia]

When students are pushed beyond their comfort zone to solve problems, learning outcomes improve. See how productive struggle can set learners' brains "on fire"—in a good way! 🔥

[Makefully @makefullystudio]

While there are so many benefits of digital engagement in classrooms, this article with @MindShiftKQED emphasizes the deeper engagement our brains have when reading on paper. A case for physical books in classrooms and at home!
