Mr Morton – School House Rock

I LOVE School House Rock.  There’s even a musical about School House Rock!  Click here to see what it’s about.

 

Really cute.  I want the Math Wiz to do it one day.  Or maybe when I become a teacher I’ll do it.  Because even though I have this hunka-hunka-burnin’ love for History, I have a relatively strong background in (my brother says that I am the definition of) theatre.  I will end up doing it eventualy.  Quite possibly.  It’s actually inevitable.

Anyway, here’s an equally cute song about subjects and predicates.  It reminds me of my friend’s music (he’s a composer.  And pretty good too!  Click here.

Lovely Lovely Lovely.

Anyway, after a good chunk of unsolicited advertizing.  Here is Mr. Morton.

Such a sweet man!  And such a good message too.  Feminism for the win!

School Fonts!

LINK HERE

Some of these are so cute!  And some of them could be so useful for the budding writer.  Here are a few of my favourite fonts.

101! Alpha Pikture

I think this is cool.  There’s words that correspond to the letters.  You could enlarge them and get kids to colour them in!

Elementarz

I really like this one.  It’s very neat and tidy.

 

Nobel001

This one is made for connecting the dots and learning to write.  However I prefer this one …

 

Print Clearly You can see the dot on the “I”.  I think it’s a little more convenient and clear.

VERY School House Rock.  Super Neat-o.

Wild Wild West! – Reading Game

Link Here

Saddle up your horses, we’re going for a ride!

This was a cute game, meant for the yung’uns.  You are a little sheriff, and you have to find the outlaws and lasso them into submission!  Except there’s a trick.  The outlaws say the DEFINITION of their name, instead of their name and you have to puzzle it out!  The game is simple, and fun using only the left and right arrow keys (to move) and the spacebar (to lasso).

I skimmed over the instructions the first time and was a bit confused about them.  Even after I read through them a second time a bit slower, I was still a bit confused, but I definitely got the hang of it once I started playing.

Yaarg… There be my villan!  His name be “Vacate”.  I be catchin’ him soon.  Aarrr….

Except for the part that this is a cowboy game.

Egypt0012

There I am on the top in the white cowboy hat.  Below me are the bad guys, and I have to find the one called “Vacate”.
