  • by Estelle December 17, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    I just like the fact that Sesame Street has been around for such a long time, about 40 years I think. I remember watching it when I was little and I think it’s great that my kids can grow up with my favorite chilhood characters.

  • by Shelley Cameron December 17, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    Whoa….I learned that Sesame Workshop is a whole lot more than a tv show! Specifically, that there are many initiatives like Talking Cents to raise financially wise children (so important!!) and another that aims to teach literacy skills in rural mississippi! I already knew that this was a great organization, but had no idea everything they did!

  • by karen c. December 21, 2008 at 2:52 am

    I like that they Instill “respect and healthy curiosity for other cultures.” My son LOVES Elmo. He constantly asks to watch Elmo, since sesame street has their videos online. Every time he sees Elmo at a store he gets so excited. I’ve been wanting to buy him an Elmo video (since we don’t own any, just watch clips online). This sounds like a good one to start with.

  • by Kari Follett December 21, 2008 at 6:58 am

    I grew up with Sesame street and have memories of watching it in Kindergarten. My kids all love it too.

  • by Megret December 21, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    I think it’s interesting that the Sesame Street broadcasts in other countries (Ireland, for one) have different characters/puppets than we see!

    I learned about Grover going Global. Encouraging preschoolers to understand and appreciate new people, places, and ideas.

    Seeing an opportunity to maximize children’s potential in this area, Sesame Workshop partnered with the University of North Carolina’s Center for International Understanding in 2007 to develop Around the World With Grover: Tools for Exploration.

    I found this interesting since I am from NC.

  • by Ann Marie Walker December 28, 2008 at 11:08 pm

    I loved learning Sesame has a DVD Here For You that helps children cope with serious illness. I think that is awesome! I have a friend who’s child has a brain tumor and I have had to spend time at the Children’s hospital here with my daughter. I think this is a great concept that Sesame street has. What a great idea to have characters that all kids love and know helping them in such a tough time for them and their families!
