Possibly one of the best videos we've ever seen! Barry White Jr (great name btw) has a very unique way of welcoming his 5th grade students into class - a personalised greeting and handshake for each one of them.
He told ABC News: “They know when they get to the front door we do our ‘good mornings,’ and then it’s time to go,” I’m always pumped up and then we start doing the moves and that brings them excitement and pumps them up for a high-energy class.”
Each handshake is unique, using custom moves inspired by the student’s personality.
“I started with one simple handshake last year with a 4th grader,” he said. “She would wait for me every morning before she’d go to class. She’d get in trouble sometimes for being late because she’d wait on the handshake."
Apparantly it isn't that hard to remember each handshake, as White says he puts it down to 'muscle memory'
Watch the vid!
