Every tie on the railroad track is either "so" or "mi."
Draw in the missing "so" and "mi" circles and put their names in place.

Our train has one wheel on the "so" side of the train tracks,
and one wheel on the "mi" side of the train tracks. It makes
its song by clicking on either "so" or "mi". Can you keep the
train song going?
Sing the song as you go to help decide if it's "so" or "mi"!
Ask me to sing a train song!

Work Page Work Page Writing Music
In Lesson 24a, time was spent listening for,
demonstrating with handsigns and reading “so-
mi” for the song Engine, Engine, Number Nine.
Both these work pages provide an opportunity to
move into writing “so-mi.”
Before beginning either work page.
1. Sing the song with students.
USE THE HANDSIGNS!
2. Sing the “so-mi’s” to the song.
3. Display the music with the staff lines.
4. Sing the song again,
following the notes with a pointer.
Emphasize the movement up and down.
Display an enlarged copy of the train
track music. Do the activity with the
whole class before giving out the work
page for individual student working
time.
This work page is more challenging.
Students need to make the circles in the
correct places for “so-mi.” Again, do
the activity with the whole class before
individual working time.
