Schoolhouse Rock

Earlier this week I went to the Achievement Centre and got talking with Sharon Stone. The subject of this blog came up and she straightaway showed me this next excellent resource that you can use in your classroom.  Remembering facts, concepts etc through singing songs, learning rhymes, chanting etc is age old .... Schoolhouse Rock do it very well .. Believe it or not, these guys have been around since the mid-70's ...

There is quite a lot to Schoolhouse Rock - Grammar Rock, Multiplication Rock, Science Rock, Earth Rock and  more .. unfortunately they are not in one place at one website ... Google them and you will be amazed! There are a few below from Grammar Rock that will get you started ... I quite like "Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla" ... Thank you Sharon! Anyone else want to contribute ..??
