2nd grade Boomwhackers

The 2nd graders are starting boomwhackers this week. Boomwhackers are plastic tubes that make different notes/sounds based on how long or short they are. The longer the tube the lower the sound.

Here is Ms. Sallade's class performing a fun song called "Wait to Eat the Donut." When their color boomwhacker comes onto the screen they play they rhythm "wait to eat the donut".

Here are some students from Mrs. DeLuca's class performing rhythms that they composed using our new rhythm dice (I wrote rhythms in sharpie on each side of foam cubes).

The third and final week of our boomwhacker unit is boomwhacker stations! We have 5 stations that last 5 minutes each. Students work together for two stations and individually for three.
