Today is October 1st. I’d like to say that it’s going to bring “October’s bright blue weather” complete with seasonally colorful trees and a hint of Fall coolness in the air. But, no. It’s rain all day with temperatures in the sixties.
Friends, we will need to make our own fun.
If you want to stay in and avoid the wet, check out the debut of DoodleHATCH show on YouTube.
Starting today, episodes of the show, aimed at kids in grade 1 - 5, will be available here. They’re describing it as “edutainment” which is a fancy word for saying it is both educational and fun. If you’ve even been to DoodleHATCH in the Long Reach Village Center you will have an idea of the imagination and creative force of founder Lee Andersen and her team. It will be interesting to see how that translates into the world of children’s television.
The shows are based on the Maryland State Education curriculum and have been funded by a number of grants as well as individual contributions.
Edutainment for Grades 1-5. The DoodleHATCH Show is 130 funny, educational 30-minute episodes. It is available free each week on YouTube. Humans and puppets teach the Maryland Educational Curriculum of Math, Reading, Science, Phonics, Spelling. We have added Emotional Health, Physical Health, Music, Dance, Craft, Art, and a live Animal every week.
Marty Bass of WJZ television paid DoodleHATCH a visit recently and you can check out his experiences here.
If you’re looking to get out of the house, Howard County SECAC and the Autism Society of Maryland are hosting a Board of Education Candidate Forum this evening at 6:45 at the East Columbia Branch Library.
Howard County SECAC and the Autism Society of Maryland will facilitate a Howard County Board of Education Candidate Forum. Come out to listen to the individuals that can make a huge impact on your student's experience in Howard County Public Schools!
