Boomwhackers for All!

Help me give my students boomwhackers and storage for the boomwhackers in our brand new music room!

My Project

Exciting news... music is coming back to my school for the first time in 6 years! And we are in need of instruments, storage baskets, and a few things to make the room comfortable for all learners!

Students love boomwhackers!

They are so fun with their bright colors! And you hit them on the floor to play them- how great is that? I am requesting a class set of boomwhackers and baskets to hold the small ones. I am also requesting light filters and sit spots to help make them room a conducive learning environment for all students. The light filters will help the kids with sensory overstimulation and the SitSpots will provide concrete places to sit for even the wiggliest of students!

Thanks for checking out this project!
