SEL for PreK and K from PBS

In this video series, Donkey and Panda provide entertaining lessons with a social-emotional theme.  Here’s how PBS presents it:

In every episode of this puppet series for 3-5-year-olds, Donkey Hodie and her pals, Purple Panda, Duck Duck, and Bob Dog, empower preschoolers to dream big and overcome obstacles in their own lives, to work hard and persevere in the face of failure, to be resourceful and discover they are capable of solving problems on their own—and to laugh themselves silly along the way.

The learning goals for Donkey Hodie focus on self-regulation and executive function skills, with an emphasis on resilience, persistence, and problem-solving. The characters in the whimsical world of Someplace Else model ways to think about creative solutions to problems, which will, in turn, inspire our viewers as they tackle problem-solving in their everyday lives. As they watch Donkey Hodie, kids will learn to face their fears and challenges with positivity and enjoy the success that comes from trying hard and doing their best.
