For days now, when I Googled, I have seen different Sesame Street characters on the site and I didn't think much about it until this morning. When I Googled I was tickled, like a little girl. I saw all of the Sesame Street characters surrounding the Google logo. So I clicked on the logo and discovered that today marks the 40th birthday of Sesame Street.
Then my mind raced to the fact that 6 days before my mother gave birth to me the stage had been set for my media learning. I remember being at home and watching Sesame Street, Zoom, The Electric Company and Mr. Rogers. Those shows were important to us and existed long before you had too many channels to name for children to sift through. It is pleasant to know that I share the age of a show that was so important to my childhood.
I can't remember the exact episode, but one of my favorite shows to watch was when Bert and Ernie were trying to measure out the same amount of soda and slice of pizza for each other. I used to love how they would get bothered when they realized one had more than the other. Don't we still do that today? lol
Both of my sons have been exposed to the show and now my youngest has many more to grow on. Each day our family is watching Sesame Street, Sid the Science Kid, WordGirl, Make A Word, and my favorite channel Noggin, which is now Nick Jr. We liked Noggin better. ;) Hint? Hint?
At school today we shared our Sesame Street experiences. My students found it funny and amazing that I was still excited about Sesame Street. I am still a kid at heart. I was so excited to come home and blog because all day I have waited to say Happy Birthday to Sesame Street!
Wait! Wait! Why did I find the link to my favorite episode.
6 day til 40 and I am loving every minute of it.
