My friend Carol -- who is one of the wisest women you'll meet -- said in the ski lodge this weekend, she's convinced many children would learn better if the lessons were put to music. Specifically she said, "They know every word to every song!" When we got home, my 3rd grader was struggling to learn the phases of the moon. We tried using an apple (earth), nectarine (sun) & marshmallow (moon) to replicate the whole concept on the kitchen counter. Then, we hit the web. There were lots of videos, but .... guess what gem turned up .... This musical learning video with a catchy beat. My son finally gets it. Carol was right. Check out www.SongsofHigherLearning.com
