My Project

We need a Boombox because we are launching a new Dance unit for all of the students at our school. We want this high quality Boombox to last for many years and provide our students with the music that they love to move and groove to.

Students will choose songs from the teacher's playlist that have been vetted for appropriate language and content.

Students will work independently, in groups, and as a class to create and learn dance moves. The Boombox and Dance unit is sure to be a hit.
