Hooray for May—A Month of Birthdays and Celebrations!
Let’s Party! We’re celebrating the 8th birthday of Wow in the World, a brand new season of Once Upon a Beat, Moms, Teachers, and more! Check out all the “cheer-full” content we have in store for you this month!
It’s Wow in the World’s 8th Birthday!!!
Wow in the World turns 8 on May 15th! To celebrate, we made a birthday episode—for the Meter!
COMING SOON: Happy 150th Birthday – The Story of the Metric System
Check back on May 19th for this super-special birthday episode for the Meter (Yep, that meter—the one from the metric system!) along with a special activity and book list for hands-on learning after the listening.
A New Season of Once Upon a Beat is here!
In Once Upon a Beat, host DJ Fyütch and his sidekick/turntable Baby Scratch drop the needle on classic stories, spinning them up with a hip-hop twist. They’re turning the tables on your favorite fables. Chicken Little runs a place to eat, RumpleSkillSpin drops magic beats, a grasshopper grooves while the ant gets to work, and a mixed-up Frog Prince goes berserk!
Celebrate by joining the W.O.W.!
Wow in the World has been spreading the WOW for 8 whole years—and we couldn’t have done it without YOU!
