Teaching in Room 9

Help prepare your early learners for a strong start to kindergarten with Teaching in Room 9. Lessons focus on pre-k fundamentals such as letters and sounds, friends and feelings, art, movement, and science. The local teaching team includes viewer-favorite Dr. Sanders, along with special lessons presented by Saint Louis Art Museum and Washington University’s Institute for School Partnerships.  

Lessons air weekdays from 11:30 am–12:30 pm on Nine PBS and livestreamed. They can also be viewed at ninepbs.org, on YouTube, and on the PBS Video App.  

Teaching in Room 9 is supported by Bank of America, Berges Family Foundation, Boeing, Dana Brown Charitable Trust, Emerson, Pershing Charitable Trust, Saint Louis Art Museum, and STEMpact.
