National Pet Month: what you need to know about adopting a furry friend | Nightly News: Kids Edition

In this episode of Nightly News: Kids Edition we talk about mental health awareness: we sit down with our friends from Sesame Street to talk about how kids can cope with all kinds of emotions! We spotlight a teacher from Kansas as we mark Teacher Appreciation Week. Her students tell us what makes their teacher so special. Also, we talk about how a 4-year-old kid is using his reading superpowers to help inspire other. Plus, it’s National Pet Month! Are you thinking of adding a furry friend to the family? We have some expert advice on the best ways to adopt! And, Kate the Chemist is back! Kate explains just what makes science so fun and she demonstrates a science experiment that you and your family can do at home!
