Speaker 3: Really, you're practicing for a spelling test. But school hasn't

00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Me too.

16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait to skip skip.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: Last year everyone else in pe class could skip except me.

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: I kept tripping.

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't remember that you were more of a tripper.

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 4: Than a skipper, but I practiced skipping all summer and look, Elliott,

22
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 4: you're a super skipper.

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: Ooh, I have an idea.

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 6: We should all skip to school on our first day.

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should go.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 6: Tell Billy to plan. Let's skip.

27
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Hi, Billy, do you.

28
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Want to skip to school with us?

29
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Billy says, no.

30
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: No, dans.

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 7: What's wrong, Billy?

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: Do you like the skip?

33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Billy says he does like to skip, but he's just

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: not that excited about the first day of school. He's

35
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: not feeling very skippy.

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: But the first day is.

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: The most exciting day. There are new teachers and new

38
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 5: classes and new books.

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: Everything's new.

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: You're right, Lisa, there are a lot of new things

41
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: to look forward to on the first day of school.

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 3: It's normal to feel excited, and for some kids, it's

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: also normal to feel a little nervous or worried.

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: But Billy can't be worried. Billy is really really good

45
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 5: at school. I mean he can even add two digit.

46
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Numbers together in his head.

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I can't.

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Imagine what he has to worry about.

49
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 7: Hmmm, maybe we should ask him.

50
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: Good idea, Ellie.

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 7: Billy, are you feeling worried about school?

52
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: Billy says he is feeling a little worried. He's worried

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: about spelling.

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: What spelling you mean, like spelling words? Yes.

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 3: Billy says that this year he heard there will be

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: spelling tests.

57
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 2: Ah.

58
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: I see, sometimes Billy mixes up his letters, so he's

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: worried he will get it all wrong.

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't even know all my letters? How

61
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: why smells?

62
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 7: Then come out, Billy, I can help you.

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: It's spelling. It's easy.

64
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Billy says.

65
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: He is also worried his new teacher won't let him

66
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: bring his calculator.

67
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: What's a cookie?

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 7: Later? I'd love later?

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: All right?

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 7: Now, it's fine too.

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: Oh. A calculator is not a cookie. It's a tool

72
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: you can sometimes use at school to help with tough

73
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: mouth problems.

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: Math problems. That sounds hard, But Billy, you are.

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Really good at math, I see.

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: Billy says he's also feeling a little sad because one

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: of his friends is in a different classroom this year.

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 7: I don't even know who will be in my class.

79
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: Now I'm feeling worried.

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 7: It's okay, Cowie.

81
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: Everyone stop worrying. Let's just all be excited. Come on,

82
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 5: we can practice at skimming, Lisa.

83
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 3: It's okay to feel worried and nervous and excited, sometimes

84
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: all at the same time.

85
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: But I want everyone to only feel happy and excited.

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: Just like me.

87
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: Maybe nobody feels exactly the same way.

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: That's very true, Elliott, and that's why It's so great

89
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: to share feelings with friends.

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: Then they know how you're feeling.

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 7: I like sharing me too.

92
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: Hmm, Okay, I have an idea. Let's all share something

93
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 5: we are really excited about.

94
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 7: Or nervous about.

95
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: Great idea. Lingo Kids listeners, you can join too.

96
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: What is one thing you are really excited about for

97
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: the first day of school? Is there anything you feel

98
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: nervous about? You can even pause the podcast to write

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: down or draw how you're feeling.

100
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Wow. Great sharing.

101
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: The Lingo Kids listeners are full of feelings about the

102
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: first day of school.

103
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: What about you, Kelly.

104
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 7: I am excited to meet my new teacher.

105
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: That is exciting, Cawie.

106
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 6: I'm also worried my shoelaces will get untied. I haven't

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 6: learned how tied him by myself yet.

108
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: Billy says shoelaces are hard, but he has a trick

109
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: he can teach you.

110
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 7: Really, Thanks Billy.

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 5: I'd feeling super excited about everything. No except except what

112
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: except waking up early?

113
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: School starts way too early.

114
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 7: I agree, I need my beauty sleep.

115
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: Billy says he likes to wake up early, but he

116
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: is still worried about the spelling tests.

117
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: He's never done a spelling test before.

118
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 7: Billy, I bet you'll learn how you're good.

119
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: At learning stuff. That's true.

120
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: You learned how to build that cool model airplane.

121
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how the tie shoots.

122
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: That's a great point. School is the perfect place to

123
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: learn new things. In fact, that's kind of what it's for.

124
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: If you knew how to do everything already, school would

125
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: be very boring.

126
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: I never thought of that.

127
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: Billy says that sharing his worries actually made him feel

128
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: a little less worried and a little more like skipping hy.

129
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 7: Just fool me, Billy, I'll show you how.

130
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: Well Lingo Kids listeners today we learned that it's okay

131
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: to have different feelings about the first day of school,

132
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: and that sharing those feelings can actually feel great. Tell

133
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: us how you're feeling by sending us a drawing or

134
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: a note to podcast at Lingo kids dot com.

135
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: We'll try to include it in our next episodes.

136
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: Join us next time to continue play learning together.

137
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: Cowie, are you okay? It's my shoelace skin. Thanks Billy,

138
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's do this thing
