| My daughter is singing the Preamble to the Constitution |
|
She's playing School House Rock, and I can hear her singing along with it. Right now it's my favorite song ever. :-)
Okay, back to the rest of DU. It's important to me, anyway.

| 1. Wow - those little songs are wonderful! It's how I learned to... |
|
memorize the Peamble as well. School House Rock also made me understand politics (how a bill becomes a law), conjunctions, etc. I'm not exagerating when I say that I'm a more educated person because of School House Rock.
I'm so happy that the DVD's available now. I'm anxiously awaiting the time when I can buy it for several young family members! To be honest, I really want to buy it for myself as well!
(Conjunction junction, what's your function,....hmm..mm.mm.)

| 4. Just make sure she adds "of the United States" after "We the People". |
|
My son's teacher a few years ago told them that they shouldn't try to memorize the preamble using the Schoolhouse Rock version because it was wrong...no explanation, just that it was "wrong".
I went through it and the only thing missing is "of the United States" after "We the People"...that's it.
Why wouldn't a teacher take advantage of a learning tool like Schoolhouse Rock and just remind the kids to put the extra four words in?!?!?

| 6. Um, maybe because she's jealous that students learn |
|
more from SchoolHouse Rock than from her.
I would just be thrilled that the kids knew the words to that instead of 'Smack My Bitch Up.'
:eyes:

I loved School House Rock on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.
