There are many ways you can connect Aaron's songs to curriculum. One of the most obvious way is through the Manitoba Science Curriculum Framework. The theme of Canadian wildlife connects with:

• Grade 2, Cluster 1 - Characteristics and Needs of Living Things
• Grade 4, Cluster 1 - Habitats and Communities
• Grade 6, Cluster 1 - Diversity of Living Things

Here is some information about the wildlife highlighted on Aaron's albums, Call of the Wild and Canadian Critters. Most of the information is from the Canadian Wildlife Service Hinterland Who's Who Website:

The Call of The Wild activity book was created by classroom teacher, Kim Burnett (yes, she is Aaron's wife), to be used by children ages 7 to 12. It contains high interest facts and information about the 15 Canadian animals on Aaron's CD as well as math puzzles, American Sign Language, jokes and riddles and musical notation to Aaron's songs. The activities are curriculum based with consideration given to the multiple intelligences for fun and educational learning. It is also an excellent resource with ready made lessons for classroom teachers encouraging subject integration.
