teacher or the principal talk to
everyone in the school at once oh I see
wow BJ you were really being loud I was
wasn't uh
I was you sure were but in school we
usually try to be just a little bit
quieter oh yeah
when we talk we've got two choices we
can use either one of our two voices my
indoor voice is kind of quiet like a
kitty just meowed yeah and my outdoor
boys it's fun to try it cause it's big
and strong and Loud come on Kristen
[Music]
it's our indoor boys
we choose
[Music]
those are fun
[Music]
when we use both voices every day it's
easy to decide which one we use our
indoors
[Music]
won't voices every day it is easy to
decide which one we use our indoor here
and are outdoor here as we know they
both are fun
forever
[Music]
so for my first day of school I need to
remember my numbers and my letters and
where the books are and my indoor voice
and my outdoor voice that's right
Stephen and don't forget your backpack
and where to hang your coat and which
one you go to and all your school
supplies and wow
this is starting to sound like a lot
we want to learn things at school but
what if this is too big
I mean too much to remember
[Music]
Namaste that's how you say hello in a
beautiful country called India and
that's where I just came from I've spent
the whole morning riding on the back of
an elephant riding on an elephant
just one minute
excuse me big fella but I had a hat
thank you
now that's better anyway there I was in
India and I thought I heard someone say
that a job might be too big and that
reminded me of a story I'm going to need
some help
[Music]
once upon a time in a dark green jungle
they're lived two very close friends the
First with a tiny little mouse named
wiggle nose
that's me and the second was a great big
elephant named waffle that's me hi
Google hi
the two left together and every day they
enjoyed long walks through the jungle
enjoying the beautiful trees and flowers
and listening to the songs of the bird
then one day they found something oh
look it's a giant bag of peanuts mmm I
love peanuts me too and this is enough
to eat for a long long time then I guess
I'd better carry them home okay that bag
of peanuts was so big Rob could hardly
lift him
geez that's heavy let me try again
oh
it's loose that bag was so big poor womp
tired herself out trying to lift it so
she walked home sadly to take a nap
while walk slept wigglenose still wanted
to figure out how to get those peanuts
home somehow hey I have an idea
later that same day
wake up Mom wake up what is it look
and do you know what that whole big bag
of peanuts was at their home look I
moved the peanuts but this bag was too
big even I couldn't lift it now but I
could lift one little peanut so that's
what I did I brought all the peanuts
back here one at a time
wow that was really smart now let's make
peanut butter okay wiggle nose and wasp
learned a few very important lesson big
things aren't hard to do
a little at a time
[Applause]

to learn at school no way
