5 more days until Christmas break! I spent today procrastinating lesson planning making some fun playlists for this holiday season. There’s one for the classroom, a calming playlist for when you’re working (or trying to keep everyone alive… it is December in the classroom after all), and a playlist with my favorites this year! Enjoy!

Happy (almost) November! Since the start of the school year, quite a few teachers on instagram have asked me to share my classroom playlist. Now that the back-to-school frenzy has calmed down a bit, I’ll be sharing a new playlist each month! You can follow along directly on Spotify or use the track list below to create a a playlist on a CD, Apple Music, or whatever platform you use to play music during the school day.

A few of these songs were shared by students, and others are songs from my current personal playlist. Finding songs without any explicit or suggestive lyrics turned out to be more difficult than I thought! Maybe I’ll post clean versions of my favorite “teacher” songs as a second playlist next month. Thoughts?

Here’s the playlist you can follow. The track list is below the player if Spotify is blocked at your school (like mine)!
