Fireworks!

Schoolhouse Rock came out in 1973. It was a series of educational shorts that ran between Saturday morning cartoons. In 1973, television had about 3 channels to watch, and programming started early in the morning and ended late at night. Saturday mornings were made for cartoons! Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Wacky Races, all morning long! In between the cartoons, the Schoolhouse Rock videos would teach us educational topics all in a fun, musical way. We learned about parts of speech, multiplication, science facts, and American history. Many of my friends were able to remember the words to the Preamble because of the song :)
If you were one of many households who got Disney + to watch the musical Hamilton, you can now watch episodes of Schoolhouse Rock! Some of my favorites: I'm Just a Bill, Interjections!, Adjectives, and of course, There's Gonna Be Fireworks!
Fun Fact #2
The Channel Tunnel, or Chunnel, is an underground train track that connects England and France. It is 31 miles long, and 23 of those miles are underwater! It is considered by many to be one of the modern day Wonders of the World.
The Chunnel was started in 1988 and completed in 1994. The English workers competed with the French workers to see who would get to the middle first :) (The English side won!)
The Chunnel actually consists of two train tracks and a third service track. This service track is an escape route in case of fire.
The rock and dirt removed to create the Chunnel was deposited in Southeastern England and turned into a nature reserve park.
That's all for today! See you again on Friday!
