Link of the ?week? Month? year? I'm not going to displace Story time because I like them, but we have a (Croydon) resident who is part of the Drexel faculty-distance learning, at least by my definition, who set up "Ask Dr. Math" for any and all of your math questions--try it!
Two Story time links:
- Classics for Kids: John Philip Sousa
John Philip Sousa’s most famous march is "The Stars and Stripes Forever," the official march of the United States. Kids can find out all about John Philip Sousa and listen to his march music on this cool site, which consists of five different flash-based audio programs (each about six minutes long). Programs also cover American military bands and parade music that was influenced greatly by Sousa’s compositions.
Show host Naomi Lewin does a great job making each program fascinating, and she even sings the silly words that have been made up to many of the tunes. (Remember “Be kind to your web footed friends, because a duck may be somebody’s mother, etc… yep, she sings it!) For a real change of pace, try using these Web-based audio programs to let kids hear for themselves why Sousa is called the “March King.”--Gail Junion-Metz.
