I created a YouTube playlist with songs for several common “themes” in preschool. It comes with a printable visual communication board to go with each playlist. This way, students can pick songs using the pictures. Not only does this encourage communication, but it also can make your group time a little easier by providing structure and predictability!Sign up now and you will be sent the entire year's themed playlist and visuals. view.flodesk.com/pages/63fec891a4305b94afa4417b ...
