This morning.
Is today a special day?
Don'’t you remember?
Today'’s a holiday. No school.
Oh, right.
There'’s no school today.
Yeah, so get dressed and
Come on down to the kitchen.
I'’m making your favorite
Breakfast--pancakes.
Yay! Thanks, dad.
Ok.
Oh, I can'’t believe I forgot
There'’s no school today.
This is gonna be the best day
Ever.
Ha ha! Oh, wait a minute.
Maybe this isn'’t going to be the
Best day ever.
If there'’s no school, then that
Means I won'’t see my friends and
We won'’t have rug time with
Teacher susie and we won'’t
Investigate in the super fab lab
And we won'’t have playtime.
I love school.
Hmm, what am I going to do today
If there'’s no school?
Sid, your pancakes are ready.
Ooh, pancakes. Yummy.
Guess I better go get changed.
[Hums]
Ha ha! Ta-da!
Now I'’m ready.
[Hums]
Breakfast time!
So, sid, you ready for your
Day home from school?
I guess so, but you know
What?
I think I'’m gonna miss going to
School, and I'’m really going to
Miss my friends.
Really?
So it would be nice to see your
Friends on your day off from
School?
It sure would.
[Doorbell rings]
Oh, I better go see who it
Is.
Sid, sweetie, you remember a
Couple of weeks ago, I asked if
You wanted your friends to come
Over on your day off from
School?
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.

Yay!
And now for our first act,
Gabriela will sing you her
Favorite song.
Go, gabriela.
Thank you. Hello out there.
Hi, gabriela.
Hey, do you know what I like
Doing?
What?
I like gathering information
And recording data.
That'’s not what I would
Have guessed.
Hey, I love data, too.
So do you know what I like
Checking out?
Monkeys?
No.
Waffles?
No.
The best way to record data
Is with a chart.

Ok, may. You want to sing next?
No. Not me. I'’m not ready.
Oh, no problem.
I guess I'’ll sing next.
Ok.
So I'’d like to sing about my
Favorite science tool--a
Magnifying glass.
Hey, why do they call it a
Magnifying glass, anyway?
I mean, it'’s not like a real
Glass that you pour juice into.
I'’ve never walked into the
Kitchen and said, "hey, mom, can
I have some orange juice in a
Magnifying glass?"
Pour juice into a magnifying
Glass?
Now, that'’s funny. Ha ha ha!
You know, a song about a
Magnifying glass would be much
Better if I actually had a real
Magnifying glass.
If only someone would bring me a
Magnifying glass right about
Now.

Thanks, gabriela.
Sorry.
You must have read my mind.
