Let's Get It Started

So, you know the Black Eyed Peas tune, "Let's get it started", right? In my classroom the other day I was trying to get started on a task and said something to the effect of "Hey guys, please have a seat. Let's get it started!"

All of a sudden, one of the quiet, shy kids jumps out of his chair and starts belting out the song complete with his own 2nd grader dance moves.

Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Yeah.

That's what I love about kids. This boy was totally comfortable to "lose control of body and soul" in front of me and his classmates. It was a definite high for me.
