Summary: Peter Rabbit goes to school, with Mother Nature as his teacher. In this zoology book for children, Thornton W. Burgess describes the mammals of North America in the form of an entertaining story, including plenty of detail but omitting long scientific names. There is an emphasis on conservation. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden for Librivox)
Parents, please do not allow your children to peruse You Tube or other video sites unsupervised. We recommend watching these videos full screen on My Audio School, so that comments and additional video suggestions are not visible.
Summary: Deep in the heart of every parent is the wish, the desire, to have other adults tell us, in an unsolicited way, just how very polite one’s child is! This perhaps was even more the case in 1903, when Gelett Burgess produced his second book on the Goops. With entertaining cartoons – cariacatures of misbehaving children – he described many different breaches of tact and good manners.
Burgess wrote several books of poetry on the Goops, each poem describing some significant way in which an unthoughtful or unkind child could offend polite society and often offering the hope that the listener would never behave that way. Ahem! Well, perhaps very few people have succeeded in not acting Goop-like at some point in their lives, but read along with Burgess as he attempts to define, in a humorous fashion, exactly what the differences between “Good” and “Goop” are!

Here is a collection of audio Bible stories for children. These audios are unique in that many of them summarize the storyline of Old Testament books, some of which children are rarely exposed to. Titles also include “Jesus in the Old Testament”, “Life of Jesus”, and “Book of Acts”. Stories can be streamed from the computer or downloaded to Mp3.
Parents, please be aware these links will take you away from My Audio School, to a website which allows pop-ups.
Videos show a whiteboard with a teacher’s voice, explaining how a problem is worked. In addition to numbers, some videos show graphics, such as bars divided into fractions, etc.
There are also neat manipulatives, make-your-own and pre-made worksheets, and flashcards, though none of these appear to have an audio component.
