I would like to start by saying that this project will benefit students at three different school locations.
My students are outgoing, passionate, and eager to learn.
They are passionate performers. They are brave and enthusiastic when trying new things. It is truly an honor and pleasure to be their music teacher.
However, funds just aren’t there to fully support 3 different sites on 1 teacher budget. I am hopeful that, with your help, we can begin the process of creating fully supplied elementary music rooms, and that the introduction of new classroom resources will further their passion for the subject that I have devoted my life to teaching.
My Project
Boomwhackers are one of the primary tools I use to get my students fluently reading music. The combination of color coordination, connections to solfeggio, and physically playing the boomwhackers makes them a powerful learning tool in the music room. My students also want to perform with the Boomwhackers.
Currently, I only have enough boomwhackers to cover 1 out of 3 school sites.
I am the music teacher for three school sites, and traveling every day between sites quickly puts a lot wear on materials. Because of this, students do not get to use the Boomwhackers nearly as much as they would like to!
