2nd Grade musicians figured out which part of the puzzle was the Beat and which part was the rhythm. Students then took turns in partners singing the rhythm and speaking the beat. To take our understanding further, students used a boom whacker to show the beat and sung the rhythm. Some students perform for the class. Below you will see 2 groups performing their Rhythm and Beat patterns.
