Please, Mr. Panda

Please, Mr. Panda helps teach very young children the rewards of manners. And it's the first book we'll introduce to pre-school age children this academic year through our Book Mentor Project.

A New Year with New Resources to Inspire Us All

With the New Year upon us, it can be enlightening to gain a new perspective from an inspirational person. PBS LearningMedia has a collection of interviews, newsreel footage, and archival photos to learn more about Mahatma Gandhi and the struggle for an independent India. His experiences inspired and influenced those engaged in the struggle to end racism and discrimination in America. You can learn more about the American struggle through the Freedom Riders collection of resources.
