Saturday Morning Learning

I recently bought the Special 30th Anniversary Edition of School House Rock at Overstock.com. It arrived yesterday and today I introduced my children to Conjunction Junction and Lolly and Bill [just a Bill]. Here's the YouTube on Nouns.



And here's a more recent parody of the same by MadTV.



Did I mention that I like You Tube?

Very funny. We bought the CD's of school house rock when we were homeschooling and actually had Josh use it for some of his math facts memorization. I still liked their tunes better than any other skip counting tape we bought through the homeschool market. Enjoy!! I would "assign" Josh to stay in his room, play with legos and listen to the math facts CD for 45 minutes a day. After about a week he had all his math facts memorized and I had a little break in the teaching action to attend to Katie. It's your school, do it the way that fits your family!!

Cool. This is the DVD, so the animation is included. I got it mostly for my enjoyment. The homeschool benefit is a BONUS.

Thanks RAA -- I'm going to get this DVD so I can force my kids to learn things unbeknownst to them. And even that is merely a pretense for purchasing it because I also enjoyed these so much as a kid.
