PBS Inspiring Minds For Over 40 Years
Recently we were at the PBS SoCal’s Summer Learning Day out in Downtown Los Angeles, where we experience the great ways that PBS continues to inspire the minds of your young ones. PBS SoCal and LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes partnered up to celebrate National Summer Learning Day. Side note: I had no idea this day even existed, did you? PBS SoCal brought together many other LA organizations to call attention to the importance of continuing to learn even on summer break. Research has shown that the long summer vacations break the rhythm of instruction, leads to forgetting and requires a significant amount of review of materials when the student returns to school.
The event enable children to learn about science, technology, engineering, art and math by participating in fun activities, handing our resources and of course giving away some great education prizes. The kids were entertained by the Story Pirates and were able to meet and take pictures with PBS Kids characters Curious George and Jet from “Ready Jet Go”.
