After discovering that YouTube is a podcast, I knew exactly what I wanted to include on my blog. As a 5th grade science and social studies teacher, I read many of Dr. Seuss' books in order to expand on lessons I've taught. It is a fun way to break away from the strict curriculum, and the kids really enjoy it because it doesn't feel like a lesson.
This link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pknssl52sh8 will take you to a clip of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. It is about conserving our natural resources. It has a great moral and opens discussions about why we need to conserve our resources and take care of our environment.
Dr. Seuss also has a great book that teaches about maps, geography, latitude and longitude, directions/compasses, etc. His books are silly but yet teach necessary learning objectives, so it's great for the classroom.
(I went to google and searched for YouTube. Once there, I searched for Dr. Seuss books and found several great choices among the one I included here.)
