Last Week: Presidential Elections

Dive into the world of Presidential elections! With the help of New Mexico’s Secretary of State, Maggie Toulouse Oliver, and State Representative Pamela Herndon, we break down how elections work, what the Electoral College is, and why voting is so important. Even though kids can’t vote, they can still learn and inspire adults to take part in elections!

This Week: Apes

This time on The Children’s Hour we explore apes. These primate giants are humanity’s evolutionary relatives, and live around the globe. We learn about orangutan and how our actions can help them from going extinct. The Kids Crew also takes a trip to the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo to meet the chimpanzees and their keeper. Learn with us!

Next Week: Our Favorite Things

This time on The Children’s Hour, we explore some of our favorite things. Everyone has something they love best of all, for some of us it’s our pets, and others it’s something totally different. Genevieve heads to her favorite place: the Santa Fe Opera. Corbit and Kodiak take flying lessons, and we meet people at Animal Humane New Mexico who rescue abandoned pets. What is your favorite thing?
