Last Week: Kiwi Land
This week on The Children’s Hour we’ll explore New Zealand through stories and songs, and in conversation with our friends, Kiwi musicians Lucy Hiku from Itty Bitty Beats, and Claudia Robin Gunn. One lives on the north island, and the other on the South Island! This episode comes with a learning guide for use in the classroom. Explore New Zealand with us!
This Week: Querencia - A Place We Call Home
This time on The Children’s Hour we learn about the concept of querencia: the feeling of “home” in a place, and with our communities. Using poetry, imagery, history, music and sharing, we explore the elements of home with our special guest from the Center for Social Sustainable Systems, Alicia Chavez. Querencia is a sense of peace, belonging, purpose, resilience, and community.
This Week: Poetry For All
It’s National Poetry Month in the US and we are celebrating with the Poet Laureate for the State of New Mexico, Lauren Camp. We learn how a poet comes to life, and experiment with making our own poems. Hear from beloved poets we adore, including friend of The Children’s Hour, Bob Odenkirk. This episode will get everyone writing poetry.
