Last Week: The Heart
Explore the human heart and how it works with pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist Dr. Sally Vender. The miraculous muscle never stops beating, needing no conscious effort, but it does take effort to keep it healthy and strong. Learn how the heart works, why the heart never fatigues, and what makes the heart race when we’re exercising or nervous, and slow down when we’re sleeping. Comes with a learning guide and activities to learn even more.
This Week: Elections
When a country needs new leadership, it’s time for an election. This time on The Children’s Hour, we’re joined by Ballotpedia to learn everything we can about elections. From local school boards, to voting for our national representatives, adults make choices that impact kids. We wanted to know the path a ballot takes from the voter to the final outcome. Comes with a learning guide for elementary and middle school kids to learn the language of elections.
Next Week: Spooky Halloween
We celebrate every kid’s favorite holiday: Halloween with a musical special full of stories, songs and poems to creep you out and get you ready for the holiday. We’ll be spooked by ghost stories told by Bill Harley, Catherine Dines, AJ, and Shomo in the Monkey Punch. The kids’ crew will share what their Halloween plans are, including a trunker treat. We’ll hear how one of the kids on the crew turns trick-or-treating into an opportunity to collect clothing for her area’s public school clothing bank.
