From Mr. I

Here is another wonderful CD from Mr. I and the Rainbow Singers. These songs were originally done to coordinate with Sunnygate Montessori School geography curriculum. We are very happy to have discovered them. These are some great songs that would be a wonderful addition to any study of North America.


Songs include:

• 1.HO HO WATANAY/ LONG WING FEATHERS (Traditional Native) There is lots of Native material on this CD. It begins with a feeling of the great outdoors, expansive, a sense of adventure. Great tunes to teach the kids.
  
  
• 2 NORTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES Gary lists the names of all the countries of North America. Yes, we have included Greenland, even though it belongs to Denmark. Central America and the Caribbean countries are included as well.
