01x15 - Playing School

Post by bunniefuu »

- Oh Cosmic Comets.

I've learned lots about how you live and grow.

But today I learned about how you learn.

Do you know all about school?

School is a great place

where kids go to discover new things.

There are other kids to play with

and lots of fun things to do and see.

I also found out about a lot of different ways

you can learn anywhere and any time.

I'll show you and you can find out about it too.

(wahoo)

Hey Kids!

(greetings)

- Where have you been?

You look all sappy and benighted.

(um)

Happy and excited.

- We were at school, Marty.

(whoa)

School? School is wonderful.

School is great. I love school.

(uh)

What's school?

- Accessing database.

(hmm)

Oh school!

A place for learning.

Schools contain teachers, books and

(huh)

students.

- Right, Marty.

See, when kids like us are old enough

we go to school to learn about the world.

- Fantastic. I love to learn.

- Oh gee, I wish I was a kid.

I'd love to go to school.

I love to learn.

Why I love to learn so much I'm almost a learning machine.

- Marty, you're a robot.

You are a learning machine.

- That's right.

All the more reason for me to go to school.

Oh I sure wish I could.

- Oh, galloping galaxy, me too.

I'd love to learn too.

- Well, school is great but it's not the only way to learn.

- Yeah, we learn from you guys all the time.

- Oh and we learn from you kids all the time too.

Right Marty?

- Forget, I mean you bet.

But I still want to go to school to learn more.

Can we go?

(huh)

Please can we, can we, can we, can we, can we?

- Don't be in such a rush Marty.

Learning is all around us.

If we stop, look and listen

we can learn all kinds of things.

- And then the big brown bear

went into the dark musty woods.

(ou)

I wonder what happens next?

- Yes, what is happening next Cosmos?

- I don't know, Zoom.

- What will happen to the big brown bear?

- I don't know, Zoom.

- What is in the musty woods?

- I don't know, Zoom.

- What is the next adventure going to be?

- I don't know, Zoom.

I'll have to keep reading to find out.

- Okay, read.

- Oh, and then, oh my oh, this is good.

(ou)

Colliding comets.

- Gosh boss you have to tell me.

What is happening to the brown bear in the musty woods?

Will the bear be safe?

Will the bear play?

Will the bear make new friends?

- Well, I have to go polish my preface now, Zoom.

Why don't you just read the book, while I'm gone?

- Okay, good idea.

I'll do that.

Just one problem.

I don't know how to read.

(whistle)

(pencil scribbling)

(crash)

(twinkles)

(soft cheerful music)

- Hi everybody!

- Hey Mrs. Z.

- My you sure look busy.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was in school.

- The kids are helping Marty and me learn

just like they do at school.

- I knew Carter old Betty.

I mean, I feel smarter already.

(laughing)

- I see.

That must be why your letter of the day is "L" for learning.

(ou)

- And love.

I love to read books.

- L is for letters.

Letters make up words and words make up stories.

- My, my.

I remember my school days.

I learned to read and write and count

and I made lots of friends.

In fact, it was in school that I learned

you can be anything you want to be.

Marty wanted to know what school was like

so the kids made school right inside the spaceship.

Mrs. Z brought us the letter L

and told us that we can be anything we want to be.
