Yesterday I was fortunate to be facilitating a joint literacy/numeracy session with my colleagues Bonnie, Caroline, Anthony, Donna, Judith and James. Somehow we got onto the topic of Sesame Street so I thought I'd share these youtube links with you.James Blunt - "Triangle" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Z6tDSb6c8
Feist - 1, 2, 3, 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fciD_II7NII find these two clips particularly interesting as they teach math concepts - they're not just entertaining. I've always found the use of media in the service of education (i.e., Sesame Street, Baby Einstein, etc. ) pretty interesting especially as my nephews are beginning to watch educational programs and talk about what they have seen/heard.
Awesome! The Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks CD is another great resource that combines key concepts and music. Kids love it!
