A teacher’s “Welcome to Kindergarten” song is helping to reduce first-day-of-school anxieties for many children this year.
Dwayne Reed, a dean of students at a Chicago elementary school, has always loved to sing. He recently demonstrated his talent in an Instagram musical performance called “Welcome to Kindergarten.”
“Welcome to kindergarten, where we can learn and play. Get ready for all of the fun we’ll have today,” Reed, wearing a bow tie, sings in an empty classroom.
He later bursts into a rap. “Hey! Welcome to kindergarten. Welcome to our time at school. The best way to have a whole lot of fun is to listen to the teacher and follow the rules.”
