Hey Lions, it's Mr. Acosta!

Here is a video from my friend A-Co$ for this week's 3rd-8th grade music/piano lesson:

1. Watch the video linked below to 'MASSA Strong' and "Sing-A-Long" to the lyrics

2. Record your own version of 'MASSA Strong' with the same words or "Write-A-Song" to the instrumental track at the end of the video. *School appropriate lyrics*

3. Post your video to Class Dojo! I'd love to see your creative talents!

Keep working hard on all your studies, and keep being musical!
