Wild, Wild West: 26 Songs and Over 300 Activities for Young Children

From "Oh, Susanna" to "Buffalo Gals," children will sing and learn about the legendary Wild West. The enclosed CD features 26 songs-old favorites and originals-and the book offers more than 300 activities that teach children about cowboys, cowgirls, the rodeo, and life on the prairie.

Every song has:
-Literacy Links to teach comprehension skills, letter knowledge, and phonemic awareness
-Curriculum Connections to integrate the content of the song with curriculum areas such as math, art, sand and water play, science, outdoor play, field trips, and discovery
-a "Did You Know?" section with fun and interesting facts related to the song
-a vocabulary list to enhance children's language skills
-theme connections
-home activities to extend the learning
-related children's books

All children love to sing and learn, so the book includes both English language learner strategies and special needs adaptations.
