My Project

My students really enjoy making beats and rhythms in class. We have recently started using household instruments and recycled instruments to use in class. My students really enjoy using a ball to make rhythms. However, we are limited on how many basketballs I have. With your donation, I would have enough balls to use as a class set. We would use the balls to make different rhythms in class. We would also use these to learn note values, such as quarter notes, half notes, and eighth notes. With your donation this lesson with be a success.
