First year teacher Dwayne Reed decided to bring class into session by creating a rap video to welcome his 4th grade students. In it, he lays a solid foundation for his expectation of a fun year filled with creative lesson plans and hard work.

In an interview with Good Morning America, the Chicago teacher said, “I just kind of wanted to spice up the old-fashioned newsletter, so I thought, ‘Man, I’m kind of good at music, I know how to put lyrics together well. Let’s go ahead and put a song that will get the kids excited.”

Okay, we see you, Mr. Reed!
