    This is a great 20 minute video about clothing care and laundry and is the perfect ending to my laundry unit. I show it for my 5th and 6th grade classes, but the video actually uses high school students so it would be good for middle and high school students as well.

    This is a great tool to use as final review before the students complete an at-home do your own laundry assignment. This fits in perfectly with our program.
