Mr. Goff's Class

Goff on top of the world.mp3

We re-wrote a couple verses of "On top of the World" by Imagine Dragons to reflect things the kids learned while doing their "Around the World" projects.  Some came from reports about things like: hunting around the world, cars, languages, flags, sports, and more.

One hundred sixty-five flags

Better tell them why “hi-choo”

If you see a buck, you go “bang bang”


Soccer is the most famous

Head to Japan for some sushi

Italy has some super cars


Head to Spain for some fried milk

Most used is the US Dollar

Watch out for those komodo dragons


If you see the elk then shoot him down,


‘Cause we’re all over the world, eh

We’re all over the world, eh

Researching stuff for a while now

Paying our dues to the work

We’ve been painstakingly try-ing

To get a good grade and surviving

We’ve been staying up late, now

Hope we all get a good grade

‘Cause we’ve been all over the world


In our 3rd Rotation, we reviewed the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley, which they previously learned in Culture Connections.  We learned some new rhythm notes and then made a song out of it! (The audio recording is at the bottom of the sheet music below):
