🦁 WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK:

Not normal: Lions are climbing trees in Botswana ➜

How do you watch The Kid Should See This with your young people? 💻 Some educators use videos in corresponding lessons, some create activities around the concepts, others ask and discuss questions or observations, and many teachers and families watch and enjoy, letting the ideas percolate. Do you share them in a classroom, watch at home after school, or let curiosity guide weekend explorations? If you’d like to share, please reply. I’d love to hear about your experiences and learn what else TKSST can do to help.
