The Little Cowboy Song

It’s Rodeo Week at Reading Friends! We’re kicking it off with a fun song you can sing at home.

The Little Cowboy Song
(to the tune of I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m a little cowboy. Here is my hat.
Here are my spurs
And here are my chaps.
As soon as I get up,
I work all day
I get on my horse
And ride away.

I dream a little dream…

Martin Luther King Jr. is best remembered for having a dream about all people being treated as equals. Ask your children about their dreams. Ask them about silly dreams they have had when they are asleep and about dreams they have for their future. What do they dream about being when they grow up? What do they dream about doing when they grow up? What things do they dream about seeing? What are some dreams that could come true while they are still young? Tell them about your dreams too, they will be inspired  by your ideas.
