I made this video because I love Montessori Education, teaching, and making music. Thanks for watching.

Lyrics:

I teach elementary kids the Montessori way
I wake up at 5:30 each and every day
My job is so great, I'm so glad I was hired
'cause if rapping was my job
I would surly be fired.
Listen to a lesson and I'm sure you'll agree
This gig is so great
I would do it for free.

Chorus (2x)
Montessori, Montessori
Montessori, Montessori
Montessori, Montessori, Montessori

Let's talk about Geography
The earth and the sun.
Solstices and seasons
Would you think that was fun?

The sun looks small because it is far away.
The earth revolves around it in a counterclockwise way

Earth is a sphere that is tilted on its axis
The rays of the sun they strike it with a passion
They hit at different angles since we are curved
And you might get a suntan or you might get burned

Chorus

It depends on the angle that the sun's rays are striking
And at 90 degrees, it's a little bit frightening
That happens in the tropics but it's always in motion
Effected by the tilt and the revolution motion

The rays strike hard on the Tropic of Cancer
Where they go from there is the question we will answer.
On June 21st, South is the only way to go.
The rays say "adios" to the country Mexico.

After 3 months time going down the elevator
The 90 degree rays, they pound on the equator
It's your Equinox friend, and like it or not
If you're standing there
It is going to be hot!

Chorus

Our story isn't over and be thankful that it's so
Those rays keep on moving even further South they go
Just three more months on that Southward safari
It's late December and you're in the Kalahari

Ninety degree rays, they poke you like a thorn
Welcome to your Solstice on the Tropic Capricorn.

Chorus
