GOING VIRAL: Philadelphia teacher, student go viral for 'veggie dance' throw down 

She gave that 8 year old a Life lesson. You’re never too old to dance.

Love teachers who love kids.

The little boy's disbelieving face as she starts dancing...hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

She left no crumbs. More…positivity. ❤ It’s so refreshing to hear something good about a teacher 👩‍🏫 and 👨‍🎓 student.

Taught that young man a lesson to not judge a book by it's cover.

This is exactly how you make a forever connection with your students! Much love & success!!!

She ate but what I LUV more is that baby boy gave her her props. He was a good, positive loser! No pouting, no making excuses and no being a brat about it. He took like a man and I’m SOO proud of him for that!! Somebody is raising him right💜

Mrs. Laurie's smile and engagement with her students is heartwarming. Keep dancing and having fun.

I can tell she was a dancer from that circle walk lol she wasn’t coming to play with that child 😂

Ms. Lori you are a ⭐️

Best thing on the internet in ages. What a lovely teacher and delightful student. Brilliant!

Being a teacher is more than just following the curriculum. Either you have it or you don't. This lady has it in abundance.

Guest spot on Abbott Elementary STAT!

You can tell a teacher that loves her job and her students. It's not just a pay check to her.

Now this is what teaching is about. Making that connection and bringing smiles and surprises to your students. This teacher should win the teacher of the year award. 🥰

Teachers who love their jobs and totally leave a huge impact on the lives of their students

Who are u calling old? Hahahaha what a beautiful awesome teacher we need more teachers like her. Putting a smile in children’s faces is amazing

This is so sweet. She taught him a lesson in a beautiful way. He got served

This made my day, there are good teachers out there, A life lesson!!!

She is an amazing person. That’s what being a teacher is. The connection of an inspiration.

Well done that teacher. Instead of punishing or lecturing him for being disrespectful she made them both internet sensations and taught a lesson that will be remembered much longer than a scolding.

Teacher like this gives student hope and positivity in their lives

Aww he's so cute...I love how he admired his teacher enjoying her moment. Beautiful video. ❤️

LET CHILDREN BE CHILDREN! Best words ever said. ❤

You know what I love? The kids are dancing like children no inappropriate moves. I love it.

Teachers do so much more than standardized tests. She taught a life lesson that will be remembered far longer than any paper and pencil test

That’s the way it should be, student and teacher respecting each other and bonding for life!

Awesome that teachers interact with their students this way! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Finally some good positive news with teachers and students this is how you connect with students ❤ more news like this please

“Gracie’s Corner” has everyone lit 🔥 😂👏🏾👌🏾💯

Really raised my spirits as those kids are so deserving of such a wonderful dedicated teacher!! Way to represent Philly!! Keep up the greatness!!

She wanted to teach her young pupil a lesson and she did with LOVE, he will never forget her. Teachers have no idea the impact they have in our lives I remember three of my grade school teachers fondly and tear up each time I think of them 💕

YOU GO TEACH 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 SHE DID THAT 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s hard for young people to believe that older people can dance. Good for her!

What a adorable student and Teacher!!!! This put a smile on my face! God Bless the Children, and Blessings to the teachers!!!

Lol...she literally danced circles around him! I love it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is why I work in education! The level of excitement and opportunities are endless. Music Teacher, you got it, girl.

What a fun teacher. That is awesome. Those kids will never forget her.❤

What a wonderful teacher. XO I wish the news would show this kind of happiness, and love shared between adults and kids, instead of all the hate and violence, maybe if they did we'd have a lot less anger among people.

As a Philly native I'm glad to see our schools being shown in a positive light.

She not only had fun with her students, she taught a very valuable lesson about not judging people by their looks. Most people would have probably looked at her and said "Nah she can't dance" but she just does it.

There’s always that one teacher that you love, and will never forget. This was absolutely beautiful. They both did a wonderful job. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰

She said she was gonna dance circles around him & SHE DID!!!! Loved It!!!! 😁😆😁😆💜💜

Her hug at the end of the video shows what kind of teacher she is 💖 Love it! You go Mrs. Lori!!

Ms. Lori is the definition of a teacher who loves her job. It makes a different, you can tell she is a loved teacher ❤Love this

I got the best goose bumps watching this phenomenal gift of sharing a students very special moment! Teaches need to step out of their box and show they love all the things their students love. Just so beautiful and heartwarming.

I love this educator!! Teachers are one of our greatest resources....

This is hilarious and heartwarming ❤

I’m a retired educator. When I was 13, in ninth grade, the school I went to had a great idea for kids to get friendly, relaxed and enjoy each other’s company. The kids would go to eat lunch, every day, and as soon as you were finished eating we went to the gym where, usually an upper class student, was up on the stage or bleachers, or whatever. Where (in those days records) music was played……..good old rock and roll!!! And everybody danced until time to resume classes. It was great! It was a rural area so we often lived far apart from each other, with this lunchtime “playtime” we got to mix more with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. It helped foster good friendships and it released the stress of the classroom. After about 30 minutes we were happy and were ready to get back to work! It didn’t cost anybody anything and it created great personal interactions. I think that would be a good idea for kids today, rural and city schools. I would love to see that happen. I can hear everyone saying “we can’t waste classroom time like that!” But think about it! School is not and should not be just classroom time. We educators also have a responsibility to teach children how to LIVE! not go around bullying and shooting each other!!!!

Fun Friday makes me want to go back to school. The energy is infectious there. Don't stop. 🕺🏽💃🏾💕

In this video every teacher and child looks so happy... I love it!!!!!

THIS! Is how you engage and connect with students!! Not that other teacher that’s going viral for having his students unbraid his hair 🤦🏾‍♀️

"Give it all you got cause you only have one shot." Surprise, surprise! You never know what talents a person has hidden inside. ❤️❤️

Surprise 😂😂, Your Teacher 🎓Killed it, 👍🏽. Both were Just Awesome,!! 💃🏿🕺🏿. His Smile Shows What a Joy & Gift to have her as a teacher, Nothing wrong with Spreading Joy. Thank you for All you do🎓💃🏿🙏🏽💝

Thank you to this great teacher for helping to dispel some of the many misconceptions about "older people".

Those kids love their school and teachers .

Teachers hold a special place in my heart!! These children will long remember their experiences at this school. Well done!!

Love this; so heart warming! Way to go teacher. Show them that you are not too old to make your students happy. God bless her.

Love the JOY on their faces...BRAVO to the teacher!

I left the classroom and went into administration. This makes me miss those days. So happy that the teachers and administration has learned to take the time and connect with the students. They learn more when they are engaged and feel safe, heard and seen.

They're going to be long time friends. Just watch and see. Teachers like this leave the most positive lasting impression on a child's life.

What a lovely story and she is comfortable in her own body and teaching that to these children!

I just LOVED this! What an amazing teacher she is! That little guy got one great life lesson about not judging….❤😅😂😂

Such a Blessing! I hope that teachers can continue to AFFORD providing THIS to students!! There is Love, Motivation and Confidence in this video ❤

Nice one Ms Lori. Teachers like you, your pupils will remember and continue to talk about you in their adult life.

How lovely, made my day seeing something nice for a change!! Greetings from Greece!!

Yeah ... this was just awesome! I love the atmosphere they are promoting at this wonderful school. BIG time kudos for sharing this with us. :)

She is a beautiful soul!

❤❤❤❤❤Thank God for GREAT EDUCATORS 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I love this .....thank you for your love and dedication Ms Laurie

I wish I had a teacher like that when I was at school! This is the cutest moment between teacher and pupil. More videos like this please! 💃🏽 🕺🏽 🎶

This truly stole my heart! I love educators who are real people allowing kids to still be kids! Thank you Educators for all the love! God Bless You All!

What a wonderful teacher and what a wonderful school. This is the kind of teacher -student relationship that creates an open and trusting learning environment. Thanks for sharing!

I wish there was more teachers like her. Brilliant

You guys are awesome ! All of you , NEVER STOP BEING KIND TO EACH OTHER 😁😁🤗😇

She will always be that teacher who’s he will always remember ❤

The moment kids find out teachers are people they both change for the better ❤

I love this. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face with anything. This is a teacher who still love to teach. Sometimes lifes lessons don't come in a book. Go teacher go. I love this.

A real teacher!!! I love teachers like this 💖💖💖

This whole video gave me chills. I’m a retired math teacher and i would have loved to work in such a positive environment! This school should be the model all others strive to be. Awesome job all around!

Mrs. Regina Laurie is beautiful, and so is her spirit! Little Ahmad is so funny. I so love this! 💝

That was a beautiful display and the exact form of heart-warming embrace that’s needed in this world today.

Props to the teacher for not backing down. ❤

Love this !!!!!! Very heartwarming to see Teachers that love teaching and having fun with their kids!

Hope lives in those halls and in their hearts! 💕 Thanks for sharing and giving us a reminder to be hopeful and kinder. Our children are watching and learning!

A Video that's soooo positive Instead of fighting. Love it.❤

This brings tears to my eyes because things in this world are so chaotic and to see that people can still share human moments like this warms my heart!! Kudos for this teacher’s compassion for these beautiful students ❤

Thank you for showing something that makes us smile!

This woman ate this and left no crumbs. She is so invited to the cook out. This is wonderful to see.

Can't even say how much I love this! Such a good philosophy, kids being kids and you are never too old!

Absolutely wonderful! Teachers like her make connections with these children that last a lifetime. He'll grow up, become an adult and yet STILL visit his old school looking for the teacher that showed him so much love, to tell her from an adult perspective how meaningful and impactful she was to his life. And he just learned a great life lesson that you don't go around calling people old, because they too were once your age, and our inner child lives on in all of us!

beautiful love it made me smile to see something so different , i miss this happy thoughts , good old times use to be like this long ago. tums up to the Philadelphia teacher for bringing a smile to many of us.

That is so great. This connection with him will help them both work together. It’s wonderful.

Go momma You better werrrrrkkkkk

It's so refreshing to see a happy story of student and teachers

There's always that special feeling when you're always surrounded by children,God bless us all as Teachers.

There's teacher's and there's TEACHER'S ,my 7th grade teacher taught me so much in science I was able to make test and give a grade for 2nd semester.😊. Thank you Mr Edny.

This is some of the most cutest, most internetest ish I’ve ever seen😍

I love the light-hearted fun this is❤
