Harriet Tubman knew mostly only hard work and hunger in her life. Born into slavery, she spent the majority of her life helping countless others escape it.
Freedom Train recounts the story of Harriet Tubman, who led hundreds of slaves through a system called the Underground Railroad, a complex organization of private homes reaching from the South all the way to Canada. Contemporary readers may not be aware of how dangerous Harriet Tubman's work was, and just how much she risked for others. This is a story of an inspiring American hero written in an inspired style.

Students measure the wavelength of sounds and learn basic vocabulary associated with waves. As a class, they brainstorm the difference between two tuning forks and the sounds they produce. Then they come up with a way to measure that difference. Using a pipe in a graduated cylinder filled with water, students measure the wavelength of various tuning forks by finding the height the pipe must be held at to produce the loudest note. After calculating the wavelength and comparing it to the pitch of each tuning fork, students discover the relationship between wavelength and pitch.

Daria — World Music for Children is especially great for kids who speak more than one language or are learning another language. There are lots of songs on the site with lyrics in English, Spanish, Hebrew, Zulu, Yiddish, Arabic, and Quechua.
The grade 2 curriculum centers around the community, and folksongs stem from communities – and can be very indicative of the area from which they come from in the language used, the stories told and the instruments played upon. The songs I use for examples are also written in the ABA form, which we also discuss. Student learn how folk songs are created, taught a very basic ABA form (which comes up later on in successive grades), rhyming, a topic to write about, and possibly collaborate with others to compose their own piece.
