It’s Wednesday, February 17, 2016, and time for Language Arts 
at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Website:

KiddieRecords.com

Age Range: All (Everyone can enjoy this – children with parental supervision)

 

This website offers a treasure trove of recorded children’s stories and literature from the 1940’s and 1950’s that you can download or listen to for free online, as you browse the books with original illustrations!

Kiddie Records began as a year-long project to celebrate the golden age of children’s records by offering a story each week. The project lasted through 2009 and now, the stories are all archived online. As explained at the website, “Many of the recordings were extravagant Hollywood productions on major record labels and featured big time celebrities and composers.”

When you get to the site, you’ll see some featured stories. Use the horizontal menu at the top of the screen and click on each year from 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009 to access the stories that include titles such as: 

  • Story of Robin Hood
  • Cinderella
  • Hopalong Cassidy
  • The Selfish Giant
  • 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins
  • Peter Pan
  • Tubby the Tuba
  • The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
  • Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book
  • The Lone Ranger
  • Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci
  • The Little Engine That Could
  • Paul Bunyan
  • Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
  • Thumbelina

And many, many more! There are even stories about manners and safety, and sing-along songs too. Thanks to this website, these old treasures can now be shared with today’s generation online.

Exploring Social Sciences with Peter Pan

May 7th, 2015

 

It’s Thursday, May 7, 2015, and time for Social Sciences at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Websites:

 

See below.

 

Age Range: 5-10 (Grades K-5, with parental supervision)

 

May 9th is the birthday of Sir James Matthew Barrie, author of Peter Pan. Barrie was born in 1860. We thought an exploration of history and social sciences while commemorating the author’s life and his most famous work would be fun! There are several sites that have interesting facts and features which turns this particular ClickSchooling recommendation into a sort of unit study.
