Pink is for Blobfish
Sure, pink is the color of princesses and bubblegum, but it's also the color of monster slugs and poisonous insects. Not to mention ultra-intelligent dolphins, naked mole rats and bizarre, bloated blobfish.

Nine, ten: A September 11th Story
Election Central
KET offers a number of resources to help with the election this year. Here are two of my personal favorites!
Election Central in KET's PBS LearningMedia is a collection of election resources for all age groups.
http://ket.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/election-central-2016/
Voting and elections are an essential part of the U.S. Government. Learn more about the process and history of elections while staying up to date on the latest news in the 2016 Presidential Election. Don't forget to check out Election Central, your one stop destination for classroom resources to engage your students during the elections.
Also check out U. S. Presidency in PBS LearningMedia - http://ket.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/the-us-presidency/
Explore the rich history and the institution of the U.S. Presidency-from George Washington to Barack Obama. Understand the duties and powers of the President of the United States and the First Lady, gather important background information with our Presidential biographies, and engage with videos and primary sources that place you back in time at some of the most pivotal turning points in American history. This collection also includes the 60 Second Presidents!
