- Woah!
(duck quacking)

- Meow-meow!
- Weeee!

(quacking)

- Hi, neighbor. We're playing
outside at school today.

Let's say hi to Ducky!
(Ducky quacks.)

- Ducky just said,
"Hi, neighbor too!"

- Hello, Ducky!
Best duck in the world,

yes, you are!

Look! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Ducky's dancing!
Quack-quack-quaaack!

- Look at us, Ducky!
We're dancing just like you!

- Quack!
- Dance like Ducky too!

(girl laughing)
(duck quacking)

I love Ducky.
- I love Ducky too.

- Quack, quack, quacky!
- Quack!

- Hmmm, it looks like
I have a Miss Elaina duck...

- Quack!
- -And a Daniel duck today.

- Quacky!
(Miss Elaina laughs.)

- My little ducks,
I have something important

to tell you about Ducky.
- You do?

- What is it?
- Well...

- (Daniel): Hey, it's Ducky
when she was a little duckling!

- Ducky was so cuuute!
(Ducky quacks.)

- That's right. But we knew
that Ducky was going to grow.

- Hoo-hoo! I remember
when Ducky was little like that.

- But Ducky grew and grew.

- And grew!
- You said that we had

to take Ducky back to the farm
when she got bigger.

- I did say that.
And today is the day

we're taking her to the farm.

- Today?

- Ducky needs more room to run

and play and grow.

- Farms have lots of room for
ducks to run and play. Hoo-hoo!

- But I don't want
Ducky to go, hmm...

- Hmph! I want Ducky
to stay here, with us!

- I'm so sad.

- I'm sad too.
- I know you feel sad,

Ducky is going away...

and you're going to miss her.

(Daniel sighs.)
I feel sad right now.

- I'm sad too. I just want
to sit here and be sad.

- When you're sad,
it's OK if you want

to be by yourself
for a little while.

- Sometimes when I feel sad,

making a picture
helps me feel better.

- That's a nice suggestion, O.
Would you like to try that?

(Daniel sighs.)
- OK, I'll make a picture.

- I'm going to go
and tell the others about Ducky.

- I'll come with you, hoo-hoo!
- I'm gonna miss Ducky.

I'm gonna make a picture

so I can remember her.

(quacking)

- Hi, Daniel.

Teacher Harriet told me
about Ducky going to the farm.

- Yeah... I'm sad.

That's why I'm drawing
a picture of Ducky. See?

Here's Ducky's fuzzy body...

- Hoo-hoo-hoo, such a soft
and fluffy Ducky. Ha! Ha!

- And here are
her orange feet...

- So she can waddle,
waddle, waddle!

- Waddle, waddle, waddle...

- You forgot her beak! So
she can quack, quack, quaaack!

- Oh yeah!

Quack, quack!
Hello, Prince Wednesday.

- Ha! Ha!
- Quack are you?

- You are a quacky
little duck, Ducky! Quack!

(laughing)
Ducky's so funny.

Waddle, waddle, waddle.
- Ha! Ha!

I'm gonna miss Ducky.

I really wish she could
stay here at school.

(quacking)
- Hey! What if Ducky

had a backpack and a cubby

and did all the things
in school that we do?

You'd like that,
wouldn't you, Ducky?

(quacking)
- Do you want
to make believe with me?

Let's make believe...

that Ducky is going
to school with us!

(Daniel sighs.)
I still feel sad

she has to go to the farm.
- Hi, Daniel.

- Hi, Miss Elaina,
I'm still sad.

- Me too, hmm!

- Miss Elaina, come look
at the picture I drew of Ducky.

Drawing it made me feel
a little bit better.

Quack-a-morning, Miss Elaina.
- Ha! Ha!

I like your picture, Daniel,

it made me feel
a little bit better too.

- I'm glad you feel
a little better.

I do too.
- (Teacher Harriett):
Come to Ducky's pen, please.

- I'm coming!
- Here I am!

- It's time for us
to take Ducky to the farm.

But before we go,
let's take a picture,

so we can look at it
and remember her.

- OK!
- I'll stand near Ducky!

- Say... Duckyyyyy!
- (kids): Duckyyyyy!

- Line up, everyone,
so we can go.

- I've never been
to the farm before!

- I have, it has a pond!
- Come on, Ducky,

let's get you to the farm!

Here we go!
- Hi, Trolley!
(Ding! Ding!)

- Come sit by me.
- Meow-meow!

- I bet ducky is excited
to go to the farm.

(quacking)
- Daniel, Miss Elaina,

would you like to sit with me,
and near Ducky?

- Yeah.
- Yes please.

- In you go.
Buckle up, everyone.

- OK!

to the farm please.

(Miss Elaina laughs.)

There's the pond...
and all of the other ducks!

(Ducky quacking)
(kids laughing)

- But don't forget us...
your old friends.

- Yeah!
(Ducky quacks.)

I think Ducky wants to swim.

Let's watch Ducky swim, OK?

It's OK, Ducky,
go swim with your new friends.

- We think you will
like this pond a lot.

(ducks quacking)

- Look, Ducky is making
friends already!

They're splashing each other!

- They're playing!
Ducky looks happy, toots.

- Yeah... and seeing
Ducky happy makes me happy.

- Me too. I'm glad
Ducky has friends.

But I sure am going to miss her.
- I'm glad Ducky has
friends too.

Friends can help you
feel less sad.

so we can head back to school.

- Bye-bye, Ducky.
I like how you waddle, waddle!

- Meow-meow. Bye, Ducky. I like
how soft and fluffy you are.

Soft and fluffy!

- So long, Ducky.
I'm glad I knew you

ever since you were a little
egg. Remember how we waited?

- And waited and waited.

And then she popped
out of her egg!

Aaah... that was a good day.

(quacking)
Bye-bye, Ducky.

I'm sad you have to go.
(quacking)

- Bye, Ducky. You're
the best duck in the world!

Yes, you are!
- We can come back to the farm

and visit Ducky sometimes too.
- That would be good!

- I'd like that.
- Let's take a picture!

- I'll be next to Ducky!
- Quack, quack!

- Say... Duckyyyy!

- (kids): Duckyyyyyyyy!
- Meow-meow!

(kids laughing)

- I was sad
to say goodbye to Ducky,

but I feel better now.

Do you ever feel sad?

What helps you feel better?

I think Ducky will be happy
in her new home.

Woah! That duck is white!

He's different
than the other ducks,

that's special!

Those ducks must be hungry
¢cause they're eating
really fast!

- (Dad Tiger): Hi, neighbor.

Today, our friends
Chase and Addison

are visiting a bug museum.
They're going to see ants...

worms...

and some really big bugs.

That's our friend, Steve.

He takes care of the bugs
at the bug museum.

The insect
Steve is holding looks like

a stick on a tree.

This keeps other animals
from thinking it's food.

It won't hurt you.
Some bugs are really nice.

Others aren't good to touch.

It's important to ask a
grown-up

which bugs are safe to touch.

Those are ants in an ant farm.

Ants dig tunnels in the dirt.

There are many, many ants
that work together

in an ant farm.

(inaudible talking)

Oh!

I see ladybugs.

Ladybugs are very, very small.

Can you see them on the window?

Wow! That's a big, big spider

called a tarantula.

Steve knows
how to hold the spider

so he can show it
to Addison and Chase.

The tarantula is covered
in teeny tiny hairs.

Can you see?

It looks fuzzy or furry!

Those bugs
are called millipedes.

They have lots and lots
and lots of legs.

Look at those wiggly legs.

Ah, what a neat day
at the bug museum!

Thanks for visiting
with us, neighbor.

- I like meeting new neighbors!
