Back to School

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend and a fantastic summer!

September is a pretty hectic month for everyone. Kids and college students are starting a new school year and getting acquainted with their classes, people are working harder at their jobs than they've been the last three months, and well, it's just a busy month. Time for everyone to blow the cobwebs out of their brains and refocus for the rest of the year and get "back to school," at least in theory. Let's take that time--now!

First, let's stock up on school supplies at Staples and get the school year started off right. At least for exasperated parents, it's "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!"



Let's recap our alphabet with the help of Professors Howard, Fine, and Howard--The Three Stooges!



Looks like Big Bird could use some help with his ABCs as well!



For a more dignified look at the alphabet, here is a wonderful clip also from Sesame Street called "Madrigal Alphabet."



Let's expand from letters to words with the help of Schoolhouse Rock, and one of their most popular segments, "Conjunction Junction!"

Let's not forget numbers, especially our multiplication tables, and remember, "Three is a Magic Number."

 

Science is an important subject. Let's take a tour of our solar system with "Interplanet Janet." And here at Me and You, Pluto is STILL a planet!



OK, time for recess. I'll see you all again this weekend for the Saturday Matinee!
