Fourth grade students at Blanton Elementary shared the Jeanette Winter story, “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” with their classmates. The book recounts the story of the Underground Railroad. Twelve students read the story, accompanied by an Orff ensemble and recorders. Students performed the instrumental as the story was told in English and Spanish. In class, students discussed the character trait of perserverance and learned that working together can make a difference.
