KLRN Education

KLRN strives to provide valuable educational content to every family in our viewing area, from great drama, world-class music, in-depth news, fascinating "how-to" programs and, best of all — non-violent educational programs for your children.

During these uncertain times, KLRN is adapting and creating educational resources in an easy-to-follow format. We aim to provide educational content and resources that support every family in our community.

With these daily blog posts, you will find two PBS Kids programs featured, and accompanying educational activities that will help extend learning into your home. In addition to that we have added a new 4 PM time slot that aims at providing some content for older school age students. You will find resources tied to each of these programs aired daily with lessons from our PBS LearningMedia site.

We hope that this will provide your family a way to enjoy the PBS shows you love and extend the learning into your home.

All the best,
KLRN’s Education Team

  • Count
    Count throughout the day, such as when you are dressing your baby? “One arm, two arms!” As you are walking up the stairs with your toddler? “Let’s count the steps! One… two… three….” Count how many cookies she has, how many fingers are on her hand, or how many keys are on the ring. When you point to each object as you count, you teach your child one-to-one correspondence.
  • Sort by Size: Is it Big or Little?
    Sorting activities such as this one help build early math and critical thinking skills.

Little Women on Masterpiece Part 3

Friday, May 22 at 4 PM

The March family fears the worst when Mr. March falls ill. As circumstances change for Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, the family must come together to face their most difficult challenge yet.

Grades 6-9

An Iconic Character: Little Women

Experience one of the most dramatic scenes in Little Women, the beloved American classic by Louisa May Alcott, in this video excerpt from Little Women | MASTERPIECE. When the March girls receive word that their father, a Union army chaplain in the Civil War, is gravely ill, they pitch in to help their mother travel to Washington, DC to care for him. Jo decides to sacrifice her "one beauty" and sells her long hair to fund her mother's trip, revealing both her strength of character, her love of her family, as well as her impetuous and unconventional nature.

We hope you enjoyed some of these activities. If you follow KLRN on your facebook account please be sure to share your activities and use the #KLRNeducates and #KLRNLearnatHome tags.

Tune in tomorrow for more learning fun with your favorite PBS Kids programs.
