[OYAN] Post-Election Resources

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello everyone,

I'm sure many of you have already used PBS Kids Election Central<https://opb.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/election-collection/> resource page. The PBS Kids team has also drafted a post-election resource<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BoBnSqQaycu9qatnaqbcmaEbDDKeZoFRwpUQyRSADS8/edit?usp=sharing> compilation geared mostly to educators working with grades 3 and up, although there's a few pre-k and up focused.  For the 0-5 crowd,  the PBS Kids team also shared an article from 2020<https://www.pbssocal.org/education/managing-disappointment-vote-doesnt-go-way> with ways to talk with littles about family votes, choices, and practicing empathy. In a similar vein, you are probably also familiar with the Sesame Street workshop<https://www.sesamestreet.org/parents/learning-areas/emotional-development>, it's still a great resource for emotional development support.

And back to the older kids, I also wanted to highlight an IMLS-funded resource you might not know about, Wonder Media Library<https://www.wondermedialibrary.com/>, which offers resources about misinformation, and may be useful as you're working with kids/families about where information comes from.

Hope some of this is helpful this week - Thanks for doing all you do working with families in your community.

Best,
Greta
