- Sing. Learn. Create. And play. In Caitie's classroom. Hi everybody, it's nice to see you. Come on into the classroom. I'm packing my backpack. It's purple with one, two, three, four, five yellow stars. You might have a backpack like this for when you go to school. School is a special place
where we learn new things. Have you had your first day of school yet? Maybe you have or maybe it's coming up. When we go to school, it's
important that we bring a bag filled with all the things we need. So I have a pencil case with some pencils, a ruler, a notebook with lots of paper, a lunchbox with some lunch and snacks and a water bottle with water to drink. And now this bag is all ready to go. When we go to school, you
might meet lots of new friends and you can tell them your name. Let's sing a song to
practice meeting new friends and we can sing a big hello to all of our friends
in the classroom today. Let's wave and sing. (cheerful guitar music) ♪ Hello hello what's your name ♪ ♪ Hello hello what's your name ♪ ♪ My name is Caitie ♪ What's your name?

Oh, someone's calling the classroom. Let's see who it is. Hello? - Hi Caitie. - Hi Tobee. It's Tobee everybody! - Oh, hi everybody. - How are you? - Oh, I'm great, I had my
first day of school this week. - Oh yeah, how was it? - Well, I was a little
bit nervous at first. I've never gone to school before, but then I met my new teachers and I met a lot of new friends and everyone was really nice. - Aw.
- And my classroom has lots of
fun things to play with. Oh boy, I'm really excited
to learn new things. - Oh good, I'm glad it was fun. - Oh, did you get the picture I sent you? - Oh.
- I took a picture on my first day of school. - Yes, I did and it's right here. It's a great picture, Tobee. - (laughs) Oh thanks. - I like your big smile. - (laughs) Oh, oh, did you see, my new school is right behind me. - I see it. - Well I'm glad you got it, Caitie. I'll see you later. - Okay. - Oh, bye bye everybody! - Bye Tobee! (giggles) Aw, taking a picture is a really nice way to remember your first day of school. A special picture like this deserves a special frame, like this. Let's make one for Toby and I'll show you how you can make one at home. Let's gather what we need. Some things we need for this
craft are Popsicle sticks, a glue stick, yellow paint and a grownup. Let's get started. To make our picture frame, we are going to use Popsicle sticks, jumbo Popsicles sticks. I painted these ones
yellow and let them to dry. Then I painted a silver one. That's gonna be the bumper of our bus and then one all black. We're gonna use these to
build our picture frame. To start, we'll take two
yellow Popsicle sticks, put them side by side like that. We'll add some glue to
the top of both of them and to the bottom, just like that. Then we'll take a yellow
Popsicle stick and put it on top. Make sure it's nice and lined up 'cause we don't want a crooked bus. And push down, (mumbles) nice and sticky. And the next one underneath. There we go. Then the silver Popsicle stick is gonna go at the bottom of our bus and the other two yellow
Popsicle sticks go right on top. Look at that. It's looking great already. Now we're gonna take
the black Popsicle stick and you'll need help from
a grownup for this one. You have to carefully cut
it into three equal pieces and with those three pieces, we're gonna make our wheels of our bus and this'll be the license plate. So let's add the wheels,
put some glue to the top of the two round black pieces. Woops, got sticky. We'll add them underneath
the bumper just like that. Do you remember what the
wheels on the bus do? They go ♪ Round and round, round
and round, round and round ♪ Now we'll add some glue to
the back of the license plate and that's gonna go right in the middle of the two pieces right there. Oh, looks great. Okay and now we can decorate
our bus a little more with some orange and red buttons. These are gonna be the lights on the bus. So we'll add some glue
up here on both sides and down here. There we go. And we'll add some red and orange buttons to be the lights on our bus. When the bus stops, the lights
go flash, flash, flash, flash and it lets you know it's stopping and to watch out 'cause
people might be getting off. We'll put an orange one down here, a red one there, orange one, stick it down, a red one. Looks good. All right, our bus craft is almost done. We just need to write on the license plate and since this is gonna be
a picture frame for Tobee, let's write Tobee's name. I've got a white marker here. We'll just write T, O, B, E, E. Tobee! Oh, this is the perfect picture frame. It's all ready for a picture. Once you put the picture in, it'll look like this! Look at that! It's the perfect picture frame for a first day of school
photo in the school bus. Vroom, vroom. Oh, where is it going? Vroom, vroom! Oh, that's the perfect
spot for our picture frame, right next to the fish tank. (giggles) Hi fishies! Did you know that a group of
fish that are all the same is called a school? It's true. Here comes a school of fish now. Let's take a closer look. (twinkling music) It's a school of yellow fish. How many fish do you see? One, two, three yellow fish. Here comes a school of blue and pink fish. One, two, three, four, five,
six blue and pink fish! Look, orange fish. One, two, three, four orange fish. (twinkling music) (giggles) That was fun diving under water and seeing the schools of fish. (giggles) Let's dive
into the Discovery Bin and see what we can find down under. Let's take a look. (gasps) Oh, I see something. Something yellow. What is it? It's a circle, a squishy circle. (giggles) Circles are round, yeah. Let's see what else we can find. Maybe over here. Oh, I see something here. What color is this shape? It's green and it's a triangle. Triangles have one, two, three corners. Yeah. Let's see what else there is. Hm, let's look over here. Nothing there. Uh, nothing there. Maybe in the middle? Let's see. Oh, I see something here. What's this? It's a red rectangle. A rectangle has two long
sides and two shorter sides. We found a red rectangle, a green triangle and a yellow circle. We learn about colors and shapes at school and all sorts of interesting things. It's an exciting place to be. Whether school is at your
home or in a classroom, like this one. I had a lot of fun with
you today in the classroom and I hope to see you again soon. Let's wave a big goodbye
to all of our friends. Let's wave and sing. (cheerful music) ♪ Bye bye, goodbye ♪ ♪ Thanks for playing with me ♪ See you soon! (cheerful music) - [Child] Woo!
