Learning As We Go

Schoolhouse Rock

Posted in Book Reviews

Do you remember Schoolhouse Rock: songs/videos like "I'm just a Bill", and "The Preamble to the Constitution" and "Conjunction Junction"?

I remember singing along to these songs as a child and loving them.  Our library has them, and we watched them all (multiple times) last week.  This week I borrowed the CD "America Rock" (just the history/government songs, without the grammar or math songs) from the library.  The kids are all singing along with them in the car and reinforcing what we're learning in history right now.

This may have to be a CD we buy.

Annie,

Absolutely. (I'd be happy to email or receive email from a friend of yours who is considering adoption.) Anytime. My email is wifetomark@comcast.net or she can leave a comment on my blog with her email address. Either way!

I loved Schoolhouse Rock as a kid. When I was in 5th grade we had to memorize the Preamble and I remember singing it in my head. What a great learning tool.
