Fabulous Food

25 Songs and Over 300 Activities for Young Children

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.

Reviews

""Put a song in your heart and put joy in your teaching." The emphasis here is on positive, enjoyable encounters with food in every area of development Fab Food is well-organized and thorough; early childhood teachers will appreciate the adaptations for special needs kids, home activities, the variety of things to teach and do within each activity, the interesting "Did you know?" facts, and the reproducibles in the back. Each set of activities has an accompanying song on the CD which is included. Great format and easy to use; all in all, a good early childhood classroom resource."
