Grade 1 Boomwhacker Experience

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Susan Harden

Grade 1 Boomwhacker Experience

Our First Grade students have started learning to play the song “Mary Had A Little Lamb” on the Boom whackers! Each students gets one Boom whacker while one student points to the letters (notes) that correspond with the Boom whackers. They work together as a team to practice and perform their first “ensemble” piece. The students rotate so they get to play each note part, and be the conductor (pointer).
