[balleralm0916]

This is sweet! I go to one of the only public Montessori schools in the nation called Towles Intermediate Montessori School. I have been taught in a Montessori setting since I started school, and now I am in 7th Grade. I am so grateful to be in this setting and its prepared me and my sisters so well for life. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! I am showing this to my class next year when I am in 8th!

[wdcort]

You are welcome. Thank you!!

Greetings from Vienna, Austria. I am from a Montessori preschool near the United Nations. Thanks so much for an amazing video! It was totally inspiring!

Elaine

[wdcort]

Thank you Vienna, Austria.

[astrosprout]

Hi Darin-

My sister Jennifer (who teaches at your school) sent me this link and now we're all going around the house singing it. My daughter flipped out when Maria Montessori popped up at the end, and I'm partial to the David Byrne-esque video bits. Nicely done!

cheers,

Susan

[wdcort]

Thanks a lot. Now I have to go look up David Byrne.

[HaxxorsProduction]

If only classes were taught like this... I can guarantee people would pay attention.

[ELIERDAHL]

Darin,

Way to go! Excellent video keep the hsrd work up.

Best,

Eli and Gaby

[wdcort]

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

[NoosaMaggie]

Darin, This was excellent and I've passed it on to friends for their enjoyment. It's nice to see something upbeat in the education realm. Thanks so much for sending me the link. How the heck are you? It seems like years since we've spoken. Last I heard, you were in Atlanta and getting married. I'm in Australia full time now but I get back to The States a few times a year. Let's get back in touch. And keep these fun videos coming !!!

Cheers,

Maggie

[wdcort]

I'm great Maggie. Thanks for commenting. I'll send you an update by email.

[sorsinis]

Fabulous job! I am sincerely greatful you are my daughters teacher.

Sally O

[wdcort]

Thank you so much Mrs. O

[simmy972]

Fantastic!Great to see a Montessori teacher moving with the times to "follow the child".

Can't wait for the next instalment.

Simone in Australia

[wdcort]

Thank you!!

[kendradel]

Loved it, Darin! As a retired teacher, I'm impressed with your creative, enthusiastic (and new-fangled) teaching style. You're putting across a concept which is very difficult for kids to understand. With your amusing rap coming at them auditorily, visually and with lots of movement I bet they won't be able to resist it. I'm not. Can't imagine the hours it must have taken, but it works! I'm good friends of your Mom and Dad, Darin, and look forward to seeing your next production.

Kendra

[wdcort]

Thank you so much Kendra! I really appreciate that you took the time to post.

[MickeyGoodness123]

Very entertaining! I am sending it to many Montessori friends--what fun! Where do you teach?

Maureen in Atlanta

[wdcort]

Thanks Maureen!!

[realroger44]

Awesome; loved it.  Looks like a lot of work. Can't wait till Jake understands it; he and Max like dancing to it now.

[aitch74]

Awesome! One of those strangely catchy tunes that you can't help but keep sining!!

Thanks, Helen ;)

[wdcort]

Congratulations Helen!! Thanks for the comment.

[michit18]

Hola Darin esta super bien, esta muy educativo bien por ti...

Verönica

[wdcort]

Gracias Veronica!!

[higirl16410]

Very funny and interesting video Darin! A great way to teach, not just to children. Maybe you can make a rap on Einstein's relativity theory, I always had a hard time understanding it. World Wide (W)rapping education, way to go!

Peter

[wdcort]

Thanks Peter!! The only problem is that I would have to understand relativity first.

[higirl16410]

Hey Darin! Wow,I can't believe my dad's good friend is such a great rapper! I have some stinky videos. Can you give me some tips?  -Audrey H

[wdcort]

Thank you Audrey.

[dieterbruhn]

This rapper video you made is really very cool,

All the students like it at the Montesorri school.

They point at you and say, "My teacher, he's an awesome rocker."

Then they hang your picture on the inside of their locker.

You're the topic of the day in every conversation,

As your legend spreads across the length of this whole nation.

One day you'll be so famous just because of this great story,

That you turned into a rap song about Maria Montessori!

[penfoldrulzDM]

Mr Cort, that was an awsome vid. I've never heard a teacher rap like that before.

~Vincent & Bryce  yo

[saharahimalaya]

Dear Mr.Cort, We enjoyed listening to your rap..... Sahara thinks its soooo funny and so amazed that her teacher can rap. . Looking forward to more videos. Shiela and Prabodh

[wdcort]

It wouldn't ever have been posted if you didn't show me that "web" option. The quality seems to have suffered a bit.

Thank you so much for your great comments. I'm looking forward to our next project.

[PonchoeatED]

Hey,Darin! Just watched your video all the way over here in Canberra, Australia - good on ya, mate!! Very entertaining!!

Could you do the Coming of Life next? (grin)

Love,

Alice

[wdcort]

Hi Alice,

Yep, that's in your old classroom. I would like to do Coming of Life, that would be fun.

Cheers,

Darin

[MontessoriDad]

Word!

Our kids are so lucky to have you as a teacher!

Looking forward to your next effort (how can you top this one?).

Victor and Olivia's dad.

[wdcort]

Thank you very much!!

[iscratchvinyl]

Darin, I miss you!! I am so glad you are sill rhymin and rappin. You should put the other song you made up to Paul Revere. I wish the video were longer...

Much love

Talitha

[wdcort]

Thanks Talitha!! It's good to hear from you. Paige said you were consulting and you had a baby. Congratulations!!

[Speak1018]

Your creativity is fun to watch. Hope you don't mind me sharing the video with Montessorians in Arlington VA

Thanks

Noemi WMI 96

[wdcort]

I don't mind at all. Thanks for sharing it. I can't believe so many people like it....over 1000 views now. Crazy!!

[katcort]

I know that this was a lot of work and it most definitely shows. Who knew such talent lurked beneath the surface?

I am especially impressed with your original rap lyrics. You absolutely blew me away. Good job, Darin!

Love, Mom

[wdcort]

Thanks Mom!!

[v7994796]

Hi Darin! Nice work man!

[wdcort]

Thanks.

[smolf84]

Absolutely love this! I'm doing the Montessori elementary training course and our prof forwarded this to us the morning of our geography written exam. I had this little ditty stuck in my head the whole time (too bad the question wasn't on the sun and the earth).

[MunirShivji]

Awesome Job Mr. Cort!

I love Montessori education as well.. I had to forward this one on to my Montessori friends in Houston..

Peace,

Munir

[wdcort]

Great!! And thank you!

[lesleyluu]

Hi Darrin,

Kay sent this to our whole class this morning right before our geography exam. It was a great way to lighten the mood and so funny for us in the middle of AMI training. I'm looking forward to student teaching with you in a couple of weeks!

Lesley Morris

[wdcort]

That's great news. I wonder how she got the video? I'm looking forward to your student teaching as well.

[Shanesdad04]

Darin - great job. Thanks for sending to me. I am glad you still like it there. What is it - 3 years now?

That's awesome man. Who's the lady at the end?

Thanks Tao. That's Maria Montessori. Someone asked me if it was my Grandmother. A student's father helped me upload it by changing the compression to "Web".

[susistagordo]

Felicidades!!! está genial, ademas tienes muy buen ritmo...
