with others by exchanging ideas,
opinions, and feelings.

00:00:15.482 --> 00:00:17.384
Kindergarten students

meaningful conversations
with peers and adults,

Verbal communication is
very crucial in the classroom.

12
00:00:38.772 --> 00:00:41.708
They are constantly talking
to me or each other.

13
00:00:41.775 --> 00:00:43.910
Non-verbal is also
very important,

14

where they're
making lunch choices

communicate with their partner,

20

and express how they feel.

21
00:00:59.793 --> 00:01:02.595

that other person to stop
