PBS Learning:  Meet Friends With Carl the Collector (grades PreK-5)

Get ready to inspire your students with Carl the Collector! Through the everyday adventures of Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who loves collecting things, students have the opportunity to build their social and emotional skills, including increasing self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills. Most importantly, your students will learn that while we all have something in common, we are each unique and have something special to offer. Let’s get collecting!
