How can we unlock family stories through songs? Musician and educator Michael Napolitano from Michael and the Rockness Monsters gives us tips on how to learn your family history through music at your holiday tables.  Then, second graders in Ms. Antillon’s classroom in downtown Albuquerque’s Coronado Elementary School teach us about the legendary Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. 

The kids talked about these paintings, The Frame:
