Last Week: Black History is American History
Black history is an important part of everyone’s history in this episode of The Children’s Hour. We explore the stories of Black inventors, heroes, and pioneers who helped shape America. Plus, we dive into the human heart to learn about congenital heart defects and how people born with them can live strong, happy lives.
This Week: Ella Jenkins
Join us on The Children’s Hour as we celebrate the life and legacy of Ella Jenkins, the First Lady of Children’s Music. Ella introduced kids everywhere to the joy of singing, rhythm, and music from different cultures. Her songs, filled with call-and-response, clapping, and playful melodies, have been teaching and inspiring young people for decades.
Next Week: Sleep
We spend about one-third of our lives asleep, but why? This time on The Children’s Hour we explore the science of sleep with a neuroscientist, and a children’s book author. Since all animals must sleep to live, it must be a pretty important function of being alive. We find out what happens to our bodies when we sleep, and why we have dreams.
