So this week it has been made clear to me that I did not learn everything I need to know in Kindergarten. Everything I need to know I learned from School House Rock. No matter what I am doing with the kids in school there is a School House Rock song. I know this because whatever concept we are learning someone starts singing. An example:
Elisa: Okay Ernie, I need you to draw a line between the complete subject and the complete predicate.
Ernie: (singing)Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does.
I have also been making Henry watch Multiplication Rock a couple of times a week. It is way better than the CD I bought with his math that skip counts to the tune of The Ants Come Marching In.
Maybe next year when I file my intent to home school, when it asks what curriculum I am using I will just write in School House Rock!
