From "Sipping Cider Through a Straw" to "Apples and Bananas," children will sing and learn about a variety of foods while exploring nutrition and traditions. The enclosed CD features 25 fun songs-old favorites and originals-and the book offers more than 300 activities that help children appreciate the fabulous food we enjoy every day.
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.
