Sing-a-Long Booklet of the Lyrics to Schoolhouse Rocks America
I have created a compilation of lyrics from the classic songs from "Schoolhouse Rocks America" videos. Mnemonic learning has proven to not only help retention of information but also provide a fun learning activity for both students and teachers. The Schoolhouse Rock videos have given almost 50 years of unforgettable songs and cartoons that stay with the audience for decades longer than most lessons provided in classrooms today. As a student, I utilized them repeatedly in school to remember gram

Presidential TimeLine
Students often have difficulty understanding the concept of time. By using a timeline that is part of the classroom decor, they will be able to readily see when significant events occurred. The theme of the timeline is the terms of U.S. presidents. After the timeline is posted, students can research various areas (inventions, local events, etc.) and place them on the timeline. In this way, they can have a better idea of historical milestones.

1776 YouTube Clips
1776 - Most clips are from the movie, but not all clips are available so some are from the closest version of the play. I watched this movie for the first time when I was in 5th grade. Years later, when I first tried to show it to my class I made the mistake of not re-reviewing the movie. I had forgotten that my own teacher had fast forwarded the VCR through the long parts. Warning: If you are at a conservative location, there are lines like “Damn,” and “Hell.” You may want to consider h
