Almost all boys and girls at some point in their young lives dream of being cowboys. But most don't have any idea how hard those cowboys had to work or what dangers and discomforts they faced along the trail. This book will help students put themselves in the place of the cowboy and learn some of the details behind the exciting life-style. Students will learn how to make and throw a lariat(lasso) and how to read a cattle brand. They'll make a wanted poster, work together on a cattle drive mural and discover how important the right equipment was (cowboy hat, chaps, etc.). They'll cook and eat chili, cowboy style, play rodeo games and learn special cowboy words. Background information is included along with source materials and resources. Grades 1-4.
