Today we took the kids over to the Capron Park Zoo. We were there to renew our membership and set Eva up for Zoo Summer Camp.
I think that she will have a great experience at the zoo this summer. I’m excited that she is now old enough to participate. She just loves the animals and loves showing us all around the zoo.
Day three of the conference began with a breakfast sponsored by the new PBS Kids show called Peg + Cat. We got to see a bunch of cute clips from the show and learned more about the show from creators Bill Aronson and Jennifer Oxley. Peg + Cat is a show about a young girl who solves her really big problems with Math. It is wonderful to see a show that tackles math with a female lead character. Peg is adorable and Cat is very funny with some great one liners and even one “word-ers”. At our tables we each received a book that contained part of the story from the first episode. The clips we saw focused on how 100 is a very big number and Peg + Cat had to gather up 100 escaped chickens on a farm before they could enjoy some juicy and gooey pie. You will notice a whole bunch of math related things in the show from the clouds shaped like infinity symbols to division and multiplication symbols on the armor when Peg + Cat pretend to be knights. The whole show takes place on graph paper too where Peg can write out the problems to help get to a solution. Continue reading Goodbye Miami and all my PBS Friends.
