New Live-Action Series Odd Squad Premieres 11/26 on PBS Kids
Last April at the PBS annual meeting in San Francisco, I heard about a new PBS Kids series ODD SQUAD that is designed to help kids ages 5-8 years old build math skills. Coming from a student who was deathly afraid of math growing up – I am absolutlely thrilled that PBS Kids has created this series that shows that math can be fun! You see, the show follows two young government agents, Olive and Otto, who use math skills and collaboration to investigate weird and unusual phenomena. ODD SQUAD will premiere today, Wednesday, November 26, 2014, on PBS KIDS with a special one-hour broadcast of two back-to-back episodes, along with integrated digital and offline…

Inspirational Mom :: Rachel Davis of YOU@the Center
A few months back I was asked to participate in a 100-day course from the fantastic ladies over at Enlist Moms. What I didn’t know at the time was how much it was going to change my life. That is pretty profound, but oh, so true. When they asked me to join Rachel Davis YOU@theCenter course I was feeling very overwhelmed with my life – between work, my family life, husband changing jobs, new books coming out, I really didn’t think I could take on another task. But something inside told me to give it a try and see what I might learn from this rather unique and powerful…

Tech :: Leap Into Gaming with LeapTV
Leap Frog has been the go-to company for many parents because their educational toys and games are really well made and designed. My daughter learned how to read with their LeapReader and we have used their games on several occasions. Recently, LeapFrog has leaped into gaming with their new LeapTV that teaches core skills across a variety of subjects including: reading, mathematics, science and problem solving. Designed for kids ages 3-8, the system uses a motion-sensing camera and controller that fits small hands. Audio instruction makes it simple for even the youngest kids to play solo or with a friend! Yesterday we hosted a LeapTV “Leap Into…
