A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
At Twin Cities PBS, education is a priority. In fact, the pursuit of learning is something many TPT staff, including myself, consider essential for our day- to-day lives. I also know members like you value the educational resources TPT makes available to our community through engaging programs that spark curiosity in history, arts and culture, public and civic affairs, science and more. One educational offering of which I am most proud is TPT Learn, a strategic, multi-faceted, statewide initiative developed with and for educators and community stakeholders to provide community-centered, sustainable, and engaging resources for pre-K-12 teachers and students. If you haven’t already, check out the PBS Learning Media Hub that provides free classroom-targeted digital resources at tpt.pbslearningmedia.org . We are also thrilled with the reach and impact of our national children’s series SciGirls and Hero Elementary , available around the country on PBS Kids, and locally on TPT 2 and TPT Kids. In 2023, we look forward to sharing Mashopolis , a new TPT children’s series for PBS Kids, which focuses on developing executive functioning skills. Learn more about TPT Learn on pages 20-21. This month we celebrate Juneteenth on June 19, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Tune in to TPT 2 at 12:30 pm to view TPT’s own Stage: Celebrating Black Artists , and check out more Juneteenth programming on page 17. June is also Pride month and as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, TPT offers programs such as Out North (free to watch online at tpt.org/out-north ), which celebrates the strides Minnesota has made since the gay liberation movement began in the 1970s. For more Pride programming, please see page 8. Finally, I want to take a moment to note our cover this month. We are excited to present The Great American Recipe, a PBS series featuring 10 talented home cooks as they showcase signature dishes, share heartfelt stories and compete to win the national search for the greatest family recipe in the United States. We’ve even heard it might just feature a contestant from our hometown! Catch the first episode on June 24 at 8 pm on TPT 2.
Until next time!
Sincerely, Sylvia Strobel President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS

A Dog’s Life By Steven Reiner
“The most and best I can do for Ernie is to try and make each of his remaining days beautiful.” Now I know that Ernie's time on earth will almost certainly be far shorter than mine and I know that he doesn't have a clue. Once far in the distance, the horizon that marks the place where Ernie's life ends is no longer hazy. Recently, a lump inside of him was diagnosed as a sign of particularly deadly kind of cancer, malignant. At most, six months. Ernie is liberated from fear or regret. He doesn't worry about what to do with the rest of his life, because he's too busy with the moment, even if it entails doing nothing. He has no bucket list; the only bucket he cares about is the one that holds his food.
What can the end of a dog's life tell us about our own? The question may seem prosaic or even absurd, but now I am trying to extract meaning from this painful moment.
Up until now I had considered myself very fortunate.
My dog Ernie just turned 11 years old. If dog year calculations are accurate — Ernie and I are now both in our 70s — he'd finally gained a few years on me.
The best life is now, without a yesterday or tomorrow. He lives until he can't, without a shred of bitterness or self-pity. The most and best I can do for Ernie is to try and make each of his remaining days beautiful. And I wonder, when the time comes, if that's the best we could ever do for ourselves and for those we love. Whether the days number in the dozens or hundreds.
Despite our considerable physiological differences, Ernie and I (above) have had aches and pains and the inconveniences of creeping decrepitude. Don't get me wrong, he is still astoundingly young at heart and can be as relentlessly playful as a pup.
But the long beach walks are shorter, and we step a bit more gingerly down the stairs.
As I face Ernie's mortality and eventually mine, I will struggle and try to keep that close to heart.
Read more stories like this on NextAvenue.org.
In my case, among other things, I no longer take boot camp classes which would render me immobile the following day. For Ernie, it's losing his legs during a squirrel chase or stumbling during the once effortless hop onto the back seat of the car.

NEXT AVENUE - SPECIAL SECTION
When my husband, Dale and I moved in 2007 to our 480 square foot lake cabin in the Ozark Mountains, we had no idea we would accidentally become trend setters. Our original plan was to build another 1,000 square foot home and use the cabin as my office and a guest house. Then the Great Recession hit. Dale was laid off and we learned during that winter we could live pretty comfortably in a tiny house. We did build a separate 320 square foot studio to use as my workspace and a guest house for friends and family. What’s Happened to the Tiny House Movement? By Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell
In 2009, I created the blog, Living Large in Our Little House, and wrote a book by the same name.
When Dale died in 2018 and I tried to decide what my life would be going forward, I lost touch with those involved in the Tiny House Movement. "We're still here," says Kent Griswold, 63, who lives in Bend, Oregon, and is founder of the Tiny House Blog, believed to be one of the first blogs about tiny houses. "The movement hasn't stopped growing, it's just not in the public eye as much anymore." Art Laubach, organizer of the Colorado Tiny House Festival, says the festival has grown from builders showing 28 homes the first year in 2018 to 55 to 65 homes in the following years.
“The movement hasn't stopped growing, it's just not in the public eye as much anymore.”
"Anytime the economy is down, alternative living options go up and when things are unstable, people are looking for a more stable way to live," he says. When I was able to evaluate my own circumstances, the only downside, really, is the remoteness of my tiny cabin. The land and eventually, our tiny house, was our dream. Once I found ways to make it My Little House, I decided I'm still right where I want to be.
"We were hoping to have more builders after COVID this year, but they were all too busy,” he explains.
Laubach says due to the pandemic, which has made people re-evaluate what is important, retirees, mature widows and single women are driving much of the demand today.

TPT Learn's Community Impact
Exploring Careers and Skills
In April, the Ready to Learn team piloted the Mashopolis children’s program in Shreveport, LA and Washington DC. Six educators were trained on implementing digital and analog activities supporting children’s executive function skills, coping strategies, and leading career exploration activities for young children. We could do this forever! We love being an archaeologist!” – Youth participant from a career exploration workshop
Building Relationships with Local and National Partners
The Ready to Learn Team has been piloting an array of content with national and local partners, such as Loveworks Academy in Minneapolis, RONDO Discovery Club in Saint Paul, to inform future content development. Through these partnerships, we’ve gathered feedback from educators and K-2nd grade children representing diverse communities and refined digital features, directions, activity complexity, and much more!
Car mechanic roleplay design from a Ready to Learn workshop.
Combatting Racism in STEM
With funding from the National Science Foundation, the Black SciGirls programming effort examines systemic issues within STEM learning spaces and aims to provide educators with anti-racist approaches that will validate and uplift Black learners. SciGirls showed them that girls can do anything they set their mind to and that the possibilities are endless.” – South Knoxville Elementary staff member
