Happy Feet: Gov. Rick Scott shows Miami Beach school kids his dance moves

 

Miami Herald

Florida Gov. Rick Scott continued to stump for education spending in his proposed budget Thursday during a visit to South Pointe Elementary in Miami Beach, where he announced that AT&T is contributing $200,000 to train teachers in new Common Core curriculum.

He also received a Valentine from a second-grader and showed off his dance moves during Michael Sinisgalli's music class. Scott, at one point, chuckled and said he hoped no one had video of the latter.
