Dwayne Reed, a recent EIU alumnus and first-year teacher in Chicago, found himself featured on Good Morning America this morning thanks to this awesome "welcome back" video he made for his fourth grade class:
Here's a look at the video description from the YouTube page of Chicago-based producer Ty Gotham:
Instead of sending out the boring, old, "Welcome Back" newsletter, Mr. Reed, a first year teacher from Chicago, wrote a rap song for his 4th grade students, and recorded a music video to go along with it! The song and video emphasize the reality that hard work is a must, but that school and learning can certainly be fun!
We're guessing his students are as thrilled to have him as a teacher as we are to have him as a #ForeverEIU alum!
