The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Thursday November 10th, 2022 – Sesame Street Day
Sesame Street Day was first established in 2009 to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the show’s original broadcast. Beginning in 1969 in the United States, Sesame Street is a creation of the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW), an educational series that combines live actors with animation as well as special puppets by Jim Henson, known as “Muppets”. Through short vignettes, songs, skits and cameo appearances, the show seeks to create educational opportunities for children of all ages by fostering learning, engaging their minds, building social skills, promoting self-esteem and offering basic academic skills.

Over the harbour
And there’s moisture
In the air.”
