🥥 WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK:

🧠❤️‍🩹 TKSST shares videos that support emotional literacy and well-being. This summer, I created a dedicated mental health topic tag to make it easier to find more of that video content.

🌍 Subject to Climate’s Teacher Guides include Back-to-School Activities for K-12. These resources help educators create inclusive classroom communities while integrating age-appropriate climate education—from ocean-themed art projects for K–2 students to high school lessons on climate communication, speech writing, and media literacy.

🌦️ Coming Soon: Weather Hunters: PBS Kids is launching a new Al Roker-created animated show on September 8th.

📖 Crash Course Kids has returned to YouTube with Crash Course Kids Literature, a six-episode series that covers the basics of story elements, genres, and critical thinking for upper elementary-age students.
