In 1972, Tom Yohe conceived Schoolhouse Rock, a series of 52 educational cartoons that aired on ABC television for 25 years.  Three Schoolhouse Rock titles are directly connected to what we’re currently studying. These are “No More Kings,” “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World,” and “Fireworks.”

Fifth graders, after you check these out, post the dates, people, events, and quotes you notice. Let us hear what you think, and why you believe these episodes are important!
