Teacher Appreciation Week 2014 at RainbowsWithinReach

I've donated my digital file for 
"You're Wonderful." 

"You're Wonderful" Digital Files for End of Year/Graduation from Debbie Clement

Here's a little flip book of Kinder drawings to illustrate my song. 
{{{Just in case you've never heard it before.}}}


It will be used at oodles of End-of-Year festivities: 
Mother's Day performances this week
and then the year end graduations of PreK and Kindergarten! 

The digital file includes a pdf of the sign language to support the song. 
There are two Mp3 versions included: a sung version and an instrumental only for your karioke performance.

Look what a cute addition t-shirts would make for a performance!
