Do you like your classroom to feel calm and relaxed? I sure do! One of my favorite ways to impact the mood of my classroom is through music. Each morning, we start the day in a quiet, relaxed way by listening to calm music. Over the years, I have amassed a YouTube playlist of great calming videos. There are three major criteria for the videos I play. First, all of these videos are longer than one hour, so you don't have to worry about them ending. Also, I like to play music that has no sudden drops or peaks in volume. And of course, the music has to be calming. :) I am sharing my playlist with you today in hopes that you'll find some new quiet music to enhance your classroom environment. Feel free to share your favorite videos, as well!
