Subject: Re: [MK8] 30 Kinders - Help!

OK, first of all I can’t imagine having 30 kindergarten kids all at once!
My deepest condolences! One thing my keys and ones left last year was
watching music books read out loud. Since we couldn’t be close enough for
me to read them out in person, I would look them up on YouTube, find a
version I liked, put it in my safe share account and then projected for the
kids to watch and hear. We then did some sort of activity connected to
that. Hope that helps! Becky in New Hampshire
