City school students make rap video to rev up for MSA

Maryland students will be buckling down to begin Maryland School Assessment tesing on Tuesday, and students at Baltimore's George Washington Elementary made a very cute rap video show how they revved up for the tests.

This is a big year for Baltimore, as the district's 2010 scores stalled after noting big leaps in the last three years. How and whether the scores will move this year will be unveiled this summer.

This is #1 a great way to pump kids up for MSA and #2 the best MSA parody song out there. Great job Em Sea Water! Way to represent Baltimore across the state! I showed it to my students today, and they LOVED it!
