PBS activity packs

I know many people are familiar with the PBS Channels and of course the PBS websites. But did you know about the website for PBS Teachers? If you do, then great! You already know about the gems that are laying within. The site is full of topics and resources for teachers to expand the minds of students. One tool that I am liking a lot is the Activity packs. Each one focuses on a curricular theme and includes links to great PBS resources and supplemental activities.

I figured with the opening of the new movie: Where the Wild Things are, it would be good to use the Language Arts activity pack for American Author Maurice Sendak. I think it's cool because it takes heavy work out of my hands, and is sort of a one stop shop because of the resources that have already been gathered for us. Even cooler is the widget that I can post and share with you. Whenever we use an activity pack for a particular topic or subject you will be able to see it here and perhaps grab it for yourself.
