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.
