Index Music and Art Class Supplies

Funded Aug 3, 2024

Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our classroom! The new resources have already made a huge impact on the learning experiences of my students, and I'd love to share a few highlights with you.

One of the most exciting moments was when my K-3 students first got their hands on the Boomwhackers and bean bags. The look of excitement was priceless as they quickly turned these tools into a fun, rhythmic game that helped them master steady beats and note values. The bean bags added a playful element to our music games, enhancing coordination and teamwork while making learning so much more interactive.

For my 4th-8th graders, the clipboards and the art cart have been incredibly helpful in bringing flexibility to our creative projects. With the Boomwhackers, we've started working on group compositions that allow students to explore rhythm and melody collaboratively. They love being able to move around the room, taking notes on their clipboards while experimenting with sounds. The art cart has also brought more organization to our general classroom, allowing students to quickly access the supplies they need without interrupting the flow of the lesson.

Looking ahead, we plan to deepen our exploration of rhythm and composition using these tools. My older students will be composing short pieces for their Boomwhacker ensembles, while the younger ones continue using the bean bags in music games that build their understanding of musical concepts. The creative energy in the room is contagious, and I'm so excited to see what these young musicians will accomplish next!

Thank you again for supporting our classroom and helping foster a love of music and creativity in our students.”
