Cycle 2 CC Connected suggestions (download before the purge on May 1st)
You Tube Videos
Disclaimer - I have included the history music videos by you tuber "historyteachers". Honestly those are mostly enjoyed by my husband and I. Occasionally I show the kids if it is particularly funny or good but they never recognize the tunes and it's not that educational so mostly it is just fun geeky humor for me. :)
My viewer discretion advised probably means there are battle scenes. All the Horrible Histories come with a viewer discretion advised. They have a very Monty Python sense of humor that you might not want for your children.
The Weekly Playlists are ones that I set up and play for my kids each week. Each subject is a very short video and age appropriate for my younger students.
