Flocabulary: Hip Hop Classroom

Flocabulary is one of my favorite sites. Flocabulary is a learning program for all grades that uses educational hip-hop music to engage students and increase achievement across the curriculum. It is full of educational hip-hop videos that teach standards-based skills and content while making learning fun. The interactive tools get creative juices flowing as students write and perform their own educational raps.

I expand the influence of Flocabulary to engage my students even further through projects such as writing and performing classroom-original hip-hop and rap about the current events the sixth graders are studying.

Flocabulary can be found at www.flocabulary.com
