I'm just a bill, yes, I'm only a bill, and I'm sitting here on capital hill............
That song implanted itself deep into my soul somewhere and laid dormant until sophomore year in college when I declared myself a political science major!
My girls seem to love Schoolhouse Rock too.

LOL, My DS4 loves school house rocks. He has been into it for quite some time. When he was two or three (I forget when exactly) he was really into counting by certain numbers...He likes that 3 is the magic number, 3, 6, 9....12, 16, 18. and what is nice is that DH and I don't mind listening to it. It's kind of fun.

Yes, I think they got some pretty talented people to write the music and lyrics. It's catchy, but not dumbed down for kids.
It's the same kind of thing that They Might Be Giants and Trout Fishing in America are doing today, I think: music for kids that adults will enjoy, too.
It's a smart move. If I can't bear to hear it (I'm talking to you, Barney the annoying purple dinosaur!), then my kids will never see/hear it. They listen, but I buy!

All of my kids love Schoolhouse Rock. And you're right Kriston, if I don't want to hear it, my kids never will. Barney is Banned!!

Reading his work out loud ands starting to HEAR the patterns of speech - (can be you reading his work to him, or hom to you)...when your voice drops down, it's usually time for a period/full stop.AnNY you can take a breath!! And when your voice goes UP, it's usually time for a comma. Obviously a very general rule, but learning IS all about how finding out how rules workand don't work, isn't it!

My DS6 needs help w/run on sentences.
Maybe this comes w/age??
When he writes stories, reports etc., he keeps going and going doesn't know when to end a sentence.
Any methods or tricks on how to teach him when to stop a sentence? Hey, it worked for William Faulkner.

I still can't get DS5 to put a space between words (unless he's on the computer). He knows that he needs to, but he always says "I don't care" when I mention spacing. Drives me batty. Looks like DD3 will be the opposite. She likes spaces between each letter! Schoolhouse Rock, well, rocks!
