1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Hey, Callie, what's you do in Well, I'm working on

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: the projects for school. That's about my favorite parts of spring,

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: But I can't think of any Well, there's lots.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: Of things to love about spring, Cawie.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: Like what like the warm weather? Right now?

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 4: The sun is shining and it's a you beautiful day outside.

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I guess it being warmer is one thing that I'd

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: love about spring.

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: But that's just one thing.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Oh, how about new beginnings?

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: Could that be one of your favorite parts of spring?

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: New beginnings? I like the sound of that, but what.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 5: Does it mean? Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids,

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 5: where we discover fascinating facts about the world around us

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 5: and the fun of play learning. Spring is on its

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 5: way in the Northern Hemisphere. That's why to say, we

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 5: will be helping Callie with her school project about spring

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 5: and learning about new beginnings in the process.

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: So, Elliott, who are new beginnings?

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not really sure. I just heard my teacher

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: say that spring is a.

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: Time for new beginnings.

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 5: That's true. Spring can be a time for new beginnings, Elliot.

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 5: That's a great suggestion, Billy. Billy thinks we should go

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 5: for a walk in the park to discover all the

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 5: fun things about spring, and maybe even find out what

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 5: new beginnings are.

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: Yay, it really is the perfect day for a walk

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: in the park.

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Billy, great idea. Oh look a squirrel.

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 5: Good I there, Lisa. It looks like that adult squirrel

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 5: is stuffing her cheeks full of bird seeds.

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: She must be really hungry.

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 5: Well, my guess is they aren't just for her. Take

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 5: a looka where she's headed.

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Wow, she's why not that lamp purse super fast and

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: looks like she's about to jump over to that dream branch.

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: Here she goes, Frey, you made it, miss squirrel.

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: Nice jump.

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: She just dumped inside a hole in the trunk.

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: I wonder why.

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Oh look you can see tiny baby squirrels digging dianaus

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: of the hole and squeaking for their mama.

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, Lisa.

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 5: Squirrels are often born right around this time in early spring.

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: Most squirrels like to build their dens in a tree

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 5: and make a warm and cozy.

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: Nest out of it, sort of like birds. That's so cool.

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: How long new squirrels stay a little for?

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: They're only little for a short while.

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 5: Squirrels start to feed themselves when they are three or

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 5: four months old?

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: How long I'm going to add baby squirrels being born

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: to my list of favorite things about spring season.

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: Baby squirrels? What's that? Billy? Billy says he found another

56
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: family of animals in the park. Where, Billy, where, I

57
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: don't hear anything. Let's try to stay quiet, Lisa. We

58
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: don't want to scare them away.

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Sorry, I mean.

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: Ah, Look it's a rabbit and a baby bunny. They

61
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: are so cute.

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: How come this baby is out and about with his

63
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: daddy and not in the din like the squirrels.

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: Well, baby rabbits also called kids, grow up faster than

65
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: baby squirrels do.

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: Usually, rabbits are out.

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: Of their home called a warren and feeding on greens

68
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: with their mom or dad around one month after being born,

69
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: like this little fella right here. That's right, Billy. Lots

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 5: of birds also start to lay their eggs in late

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: winter and early springtime too. Baby birds can be heard

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 5: chirping for food from their nests in the spring.

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Wow, they're all kinds of baby, and most in the

74
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: park during springtime. As it's all of this to my projects, Huh,

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: I didn't know so many animals were born all around

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: the same time like.

77
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: This, good observation, Lisa, Why do you think that is? Hmmm, oh,

78
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: maybe because it's warmer.

79
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: Sure, that's one reason. And what else starts to happen

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: when the temperature gets warmer.

81
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Lots of plants start to grow again.

82
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Too, exactly, Cowie.

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 5: All the fresh grass and other leaves also called vegetation

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 5: make for lots of of food animals can use to

85
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: feed their babies. So the warmer weather and the easy

86
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: access to lots of food make springtime a natural time

87
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: of birth.

88
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: Go if spring is such a great time for everyone

89
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: to be born, how could my birthdays?

90
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 5: And answer, well, Cowie, that's a good question. Some animals,

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 5: including cows, can be born anytime of the year. Really, yes,

92
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 5: especially since most cows live on farms. They have access

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 5: to food and a warm barn to sleep in year round,

94
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 5: so many cows can have babies whenever they want to.

95
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: I wasn't born in the spring either, COWI pint.

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: It's like we are often born.

97
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: In the summer or fall.

98
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: My birthdays in August.

99
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: True, different species of animals are born during different seasons

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: all over the world.

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with being born in one season. Or another.

102
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 5: You just may see a lot more baby animals out

103
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 5: in the park during the spring than in other months.

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: Oh, I think I understand now what new beginnings are,

105
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: got I try to explain.

106
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: Sure, go for it, Cawie.

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: So many new things are happening. Lots of baby animals

108
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: are born, the weather's changing, the grass and plants are

109
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: all starting to grow again too, new like fresh.

110
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 4: I agree, Calie, there's a lot of new things that

111
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 4: happen in spring.

112
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 5: Spring is a time of new beginnings for people as well.

113
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: Really, how do you mean?

114
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 5: Well, that could mean the start of a new friendship

115
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 5: or picking up a new hobby. You can take a

116
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 5: page out of Nature's book and decide to make a

117
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 5: positive change in your life this spring.

118
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: Too, if you want to, like wanting to go on more.

119
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Walks in the book or spending time of your friends Exactly.

120
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 5: You don't need an excuse to try something new. But

121
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: sometimes seeing spring bring nature back to life and get

122
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 5: people in.

123
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: The spirit for new beginnings.

124
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Wow, this is going to be the best project ever.

125
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: I love springs.

126
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 5: Well, Lingo kids listeners, Today we learned about what spring brings.

127
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 5: It's a time when warm weather and lots of fresh

128
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: vegetation means new baby animals and birds may start to

129
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: appear in your local park. Did you notice any new

130
