Last Week: Roots
When we dig down deep, whether in the earth, or in our families, we find roots. The Kids Crew meets Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer and the youth version adapter, Monique Gray Smith and dig into the meaning our of personal roots. Then we xplore the amazing journey of plant roots with naturalist educator and artist, Jane Westbrook. In honor of Earth Day, celebrate roots with The Children’s Hour.
This Week: Frogs & Toads
This time on The Children’s Hour, we hop on frogs and toads with Senior Zoologist of the ABQ Biopark Zoo’s Amphibians and Reptiles, Josh Butler. Josh helps us understand what role they play in the environment around us. The kids in Extinction Diaries let us know how some frogs are faring in the wild, and why there’s an uphill hop for these fragile creatures to be safe from extinction.

Next Week: World War II
Take a step back in time, to over 80 years ago to World War II, one of the biggest conflicts in human history, which changed modern humanity forever. From the early moments of the war until the end, we hear about the causes and consequences of war during this scary time. We learn from Ms. Teresa Rand Bridges’ bilingual 5th grade class at Alvarado Elementary, a public school in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
