Welcome to You Oughta Know! This is a fantastic blog hop hosted by the sweet Mrs. McClain over at Buzzing With Mrs. McClain about things that you “oughta know” for your classroom. Be sure to hop over to each person’s blog at the end of this post to get some fresh ideas!
I think that you oughta know about Cool School! Have you heard of it?
Cool School is a YouTube channel with Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales told by the adorable Miss Booksy! My kiddos love listening to her storytelling, and the cartoons that go along with the story are fun and engaging! :)
There are over 30 well known nursery rhymes and fairy tales on the channel, and some have their own little twist- so it goes great with a fairy tale unit or all by itself!
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The 3 Little Pigs, Pinocchio & the Big Bad Wolf, The Princess & the Pea... and tons more!
You can also solve some math and science problems with Professor Skience, get a history lesson with Mr Histor, or help Ron Gets it Wrong get it right!
The Cool School is a safe video network for kids. however you should use a Safe-Viewing host to get rid of those ads!
With SafeShareTV you insert a link and then it generates a safe link to use for viewing.
You could also make the safe link into a QR code for your kiddos to scan for a center or station! :)

Oooh - I love it! In second grade we have an entire unit on fairy tales, folk tales, and fables, and I'm thinking this will definitely come in handy during that time (and certainly other times as well)! Plus, I'm loving the QR Code idea, and am thinking this is perfect for "Listen to Reading!"

Thank you for sharing this idea. I have never heard of Cool School. Thank you for also sharing about Safe Share. I think that is something teachers have really never heard of!
