Last Week: Kid Pan Alley
Kid Pan Alley is an organization that empowers kids around the United States to write their own songs. We’re joined this time on The Children’s Hour by Paul and Cheryl Reisler who have written more than 2,500 songs with more than 70,000 children over the last 30 years. Paul and Cheryl Reisler spend the hour with our Kids Crew sharing songs, and giving us a mini demonstration of how they work inside schools. We learn about rhythm and exploration of our ideas through song.
This Week: Happy Mother's Day
This time on The Children’s Hour we honor our mothers in a musical special dedicated to Mom featuring shoutouts from some of our favorite Kindie musicians. We even hear from our host, Katie’s mom! What will you do for your mom this Mother’s Day? We hope you get inspired by our musical special. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, grandmas, and women in our lives who make us feel like we truly belong.
Next Week: Keeping Our Cool
Kids have stress too, and on this episode we learn some strategies to keep our cool and manage our anxieties no matter our age. We are guided through a meditation visualization with instructor Michelle Renee Pelletier, and then we reflect on how it felt, and learn the science behind why it works to calm us down. Then we meet a 10 year old who uses mindfulness every day, and we hear a book review of The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse. Keep your cool with us!
