Ride the Rhythm Train

February is Black History month. The 3rd graders learned about the Underground Railroad and how secret songs were used as maps to guide the slaves to freedom. Then we created a Rhythm train, which was led by a "conductor". The students walked around the "track" stopping at different colored "stations" to play their new rhythms.


The rhythm track

Chugging along

The train conductor keeping everyone on track

The yellow station playing the tambourines



The pink station playing the maracas
