This product is the result of a collaboration between IDEAS, the Dearborn, Michigan, Public Schools, and the Dearborn Arabic community, the largest Arabic population in North America. Parents, children, teachers, and community members shared their children's songs and games. We audio and video recorded them singing their songs and wrote down the songs with the help of Arabic translators.
We present a book, CD and DVD with fifteen songs and games. We hope this will be the beginning, and will inspire others to collect the authentic cultural materials in their communities. And with the influx of Arabic students in our schools, we hope this will be a useful resource for you.
