"Are you thinking that maybe you want to be an astronaut, or an author, or a scientist or a doctor? That's great! And maybe you're not quite up to speed on the centrifugal force of the moon or how many bones are in your arms, but if you believe in yourself, you'll get there. That's the power of yet. You might not be ready for outer space yet, but just work hard and keep your eye on the prize and you'll get to where you want to be!" Via Beth Dichter

I was not aware that Sesame Street had videos that looked at social-emotional learning until I stumbled on this one that looks at the power of the word yet. Although designed for younger children I suspect many middle and high school students would be engaged (since many watched Sesame Street as youngsters). This could be useful if you work with students on growth mindset and fixed mindset. |

Your friends on Sesame Street are here to support you and your family during the COVID-19 health crisis. We understand that these are very stressful times; our daily lives have been disrupted, and we are all coping with uncertainty. As we create a new sense of normalcy, it's important that we take care of ourselves, so that we can best care for our children. Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa)

This is an interesting read. Sesame Street was one of the first shows to bring on a character who is diagnosed with Autism. Throughout all of this COVID crazziness this show has not only knocked down the wall of stereotypes but it helps kids with autism deal with the issue of mask wearing during covid.Â
