Teacher Goes Viral Rewriting Hit Songs for Elementary Lesson Plans

The easiest way to get kids to learn is to make them excited. Sean Connolly, known affectionately by his students as Mr. C, wanted the kids in his class to have fun while they learn. So, he brought together two of his favorite things—music and teaching—and he became a viral sensation.

Mr. C teaches kids about math, science, and all kinds of other fun things using music from the most popular artists on the planet. Need to learn to count by sevens? Mr. C combined counting by seven with Taylor Swift’s I Knew You Were Trouble, and it’s one of the catchiest things you’ve ever heard. Video of his class singing along and never missing a beat will make adults wish they’d had a teacher like this.

Do you know anything about evaporation? Mr. C can teach you all kinds of cool facts with his song set to Taylor’s hit Blank Space.

Not a Swiftie? No problem. Mr. C will teach you how to count by fives by using NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye. Country music fans, Mr. C’s got you covered, too. He’ll teach you about counting by fours to the tune of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s smash hit, I Had Some Help.

Everyone wishes they’d had Mr. C as a teacher. His most viral TikTok has more than 20 million views and almost 10,000 comments. People can’t get enough of this creative teacher.

“Absolutely amazing!!! The best thing is that these kids will never forget this!!” Someone cheered.

This fan admitted, “I would have remembered so much more from my school years if it all been set to music. This is amazing!”

Our kids are going to love these. Thank you, Mr. C, for sharing your gift with the world.
