Halloween is a time of excitement and sometimes anxiety for students often fueled by fears and sugar!
Public Broadcast for Kids has many characters that are great role models to help guide students as they explore their fears and learn to make healthy choices. Go to pbskidsgo.org/video, to watch streaming video of Halloween-themed episodes and clips from ARTHUR, CYBERCHASE, MARTHA SPEAKS, FETCH! WITH RUFF RUFFMAN, MAYA & MIGUEL, ANIMALIA, DESIGN SQUAD and more!
