Last Week: Kindness
Imagine a world where kindness is a habit. The Kids Crew talks about real moments when someone showed them care and understanding. Musician Lindsay Monroe joins us to explain how music can help children practice empathy and respect. We explore the science behind kindness and how even one thoughtful act can strengthen a community.
This Week: Earth Day - Rivers
Rivers connect communities, wildlife, and drinking water across New Mexico. On this Earth Day episode of The Children’s Hour, students share how they are protecting local watersheds through RiverXChange. From planting cottonwood trees along the Rio Grande to collecting litter on school campuses, kids are learning that small actions can protect clean water for everyone.
Next Week: Whales
This time on The Children’s Hour we’re learning about the largest animal to ever live on Earth, which still roams the oceans today: whales. Once hunted to near extinction, some whales are making a comeback, while others remain critically endangered. Learn through stories, poems, songs, and a chat with a whale researcher studying the songs whales sing. Comes with a learning guide!
