🌿 WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK

☀️🏫 Happy September. Our team of 3 spent the summer exploring ways to support TKSST’s mission and connect with more educators and parents while staying independently published.

As part of this growth, we're thrilled to have a new sponsor: 1440—a fact-driven, curated newsletter for over 3.8 million readers. I began reading 1440 after they linked to TKSST 6 months ago, and continue to appreciate their approach to sharing news.

Your support, whether through membership or engaging with our sponsors, enables TKSST to continue its mission. Every view, share, and kind word helps me amplify smart creators and their kid-friendly content every day. I’m grateful. - Rion

📌 FROM THIS WEEK’S SPONSOR

Daily News for Curious Minds

“I stopped watching the news, so sick of the bias. Was searching for an alternative that would just tell me WHAT happened, with NO editorializing. I found it. It’s called 1440. It assumes you are smart enough to form your own opinions.”

🌐  FROM MY BROWSING HISTORY

🦕 Matching 3-toed dinosaur footprints in Brazil and Cameroon bridge the Atlantic, revealing continental connections from 120 million years ago. Incredible.

🍒 While excavating Washington’s cellar during the Mansion Revitalization Project, Mount Vernon’s archaeologists unearthed 35 glass bottles, mostly containing preserved cherries.

🤔 This news literacy classroom poster from The Guardian Foundation helps kids practice critical thinking skills to evaluate news sources and information before believing or sharing.

💻 Reminder! Skype A Scientist is an incredible resource for connecting classrooms with science pros.
