    Venita – Im super interested in how your caregiver and me classes are structured? This has been a huge passion for me. BUT I find myself in analysis paralysis when it comes to thinking about how these classes would look in person? Do we all just sing “wheels on the bus” to our babies together? 😉 Joking, kind of. Any kind of direction you can provide would be so helpful!

    PS – this group of speakers is 10/10 so far!

    Hey @lquinby , so glad you loved the speakers and asked this question! So full disclosure: I am a certified Learn with Less provider. Like you, I wasn’t sure where to start and I was just coming off maternity leave so I wanted a template at the time. However, a lot of SLP classes starting popping up around me and I had to offer something competitive and keep everyone entertained. Here is the format I ended up using which deviated from LWL:

    Welcome Song

    Explain the speech strategy and theme

    Demonstrate the strategy through an activity

    Read a themed book

    Parachute

    Themed sensory bins

    Fingerplay songs

    Review strategy

    Goodbye song

    Here are some of the themes I used: holidays, zoo, farm, garden, water, trucks, party, camping. Hope this helps!
