Thanks to recent explorations of Schoolhouse Rock, specifically the songs “The Preamble” and “I’m Just a Bill,” last night Eaglet spent their wind-down-in-bed-before-falling-asleep time reading Article I, Sections 1-4 of the U.S. Constitution.

I have no words.

(Janni did have to explain the three-fifths compromise. I believe that would be when I heard a “What the heck?!” from their bedroom.)

Yup.

They've started taking a book in the car for the school commute -- today it was Who Was Emelia Earhart?

[larryhammer]

As I said, no words.

WOW!!!

[larryhammer]

Nope, I don't even have that one. You can keep it for reusing later.

Schoolhouse Rock FTW!!! Also, Eaglet rocks.

Their teacher has been using some of the grammar songs in class -- current favorites of those are "Interjections!" ("Hey! That smarts!") and "Conjunction Junction."
