<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Really, you're practicing for a spelling test. But school hasn't

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 3>even started yet. I see you want to be extra

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:28.800

<v Speaker 3>you feel about the first day of school? Excited, nervous both.

<v Speaker 3>Let's check in with Cawie, Lisa, Elliott, and Billy and

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 3>see how they're feeling about that big day.

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Hi Callie, Hi Lisa.

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Are you so for the first day of school? Yes?

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Me too.

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to skip skip.

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Last year everyone else in pe class could skip except me.

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I kept tripping.

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I can't remember that you were more of a tripper.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 4>Than a skipper, but I practiced skipping all summer and look, Elliott,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 4>you're a super skipper.

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, I have an idea.

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 6>We should all skip to school on our first day.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we should go.

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 6>Tell Billy to plan. Let's skip.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Billy, do you.

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Want to skip to school with us?

0:01:59.120 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Billy says, no.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>No, dans.

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 7>What's wrong, Billy?

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you like the skip?

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Billy says he does like to skip, but he's just

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>not that excited about the first day of school. He's

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 3>not feeling very skippy.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>But the first day is.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 5>The most exciting day. There are new teachers and new

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 5>classes and new books.

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Everything's new.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 3>You're right, Lisa, there are a lot of new things

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 3>to look forward to on the first day of school.

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 3>It's normal to feel excited, and for some kids, it's

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 3>also normal to feel a little nervous or worried.

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 5>But Billy can't be worried. Billy is really really good

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 5>at school. I mean he can even add two digit.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Numbers together in his head.

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Yeah, I can't.

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Imagine what he has to worry about.

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 7>Hmmm, maybe we should ask him.

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Good idea, Ellie.

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 7>Billy, are you feeling worried about school?

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Billy says he is feeling a little worried. He's worried

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 3>about spelling.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>What spelling you mean, like spelling words? Yes.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Billy says that this year he heard there will be

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 3>spelling tests.

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Ah.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 3>I see, sometimes Billy mixes up his letters, so he's

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 3>worried he will get it all wrong.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I don't even know all my letters? How

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>why smells?

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 7>Then come out, Billy, I can help you.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>It's spelling. It's easy.

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about it. Billy says.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 3>He is also worried his new teacher won't let him

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 3>bring his calculator.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>What's a cookie?

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 7>Later? I'd love later?

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 7>Now, it's fine too.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh. A calculator is not a cookie. It's a tool

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 3>you can sometimes use at school to help with tough

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 3>mouth problems.

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Math problems. That sounds hard, But Billy, you are.

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Really good at math, I see.

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Billy says he's also feeling a little sad because one

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 3>of his friends is in a different classroom this year.

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 7>I don't even know who will be in my class.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm feeling worried.

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 7>It's okay, Cowie.

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 5>Everyone stop worrying. Let's just all be excited. Come on,

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 5>we can practice at skimming, Lisa.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.479
<v Speaker 3>It's okay to feel worried and nervous and excited, sometimes

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 3>all at the same time.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 5>But I want everyone to only feel happy and excited.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Just like me.

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 4>Maybe nobody feels exactly the same way.

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 3>That's very true, Elliott, and that's why It's so great

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>to share feelings with friends.

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Then they know how you're feeling.

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 7>I like sharing me too.

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 5>Hmm, Okay, I have an idea. Let's all share something

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 5>we are really excited about.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 7>Or nervous about.

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Great idea. Lingo Kids listeners, you can join too.

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 3>What is one thing you are really excited about for

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 3>the first day of school? Is there anything you feel

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 3>nervous about? You can even pause the podcast to write

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 3>down or draw how you're feeling.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Great sharing.

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 3>The Lingo Kids listeners are full of feelings about the

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 3>first day of school.

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>What about you, Kelly.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 7>I am excited to meet my new teacher.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>That is exciting, Cawie.

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm also worried my shoelaces will get untied. I haven't

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 6>learned how tied him by myself yet.

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Billy says shoelaces are hard, but he has a trick

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 3>he can teach you.

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 7>Really, Thanks Billy.

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 5>I'd feeling super excited about everything. No except except what

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 5>except waking up early?

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>School starts way too early.

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 7>I agree, I need my beauty sleep.

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 3>Billy says he likes to wake up early, but he

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 3>is still worried about the spelling tests.

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>He's never done a spelling test before.

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 7>Billy, I bet you'll learn how you're good.

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 2>At learning stuff. That's true.

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 5>You learned how to build that cool model airplane.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and how the tie shoots.

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 3>That's a great point. School is the perfect place to

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 3>learn new things. In fact, that's kind of what it's for.

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 3>If you knew how to do everything already, school would

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 3>be very boring.

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I never thought of that.

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 3>Billy says that sharing his worries actually made him feel

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 3>a little less worried and a little more like skipping hy.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 7>Just fool me, Billy, I'll show you how.

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Well Lingo Kids listeners today we learned that it's okay

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 3>to have different feelings about the first day of school,

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 3>and that sharing those feelings can actually feel great. Tell

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 3>us how you're feeling by sending us a drawing or

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 3>a note to podcast at Lingo kids dot com.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>We'll try to include it in our next episodes.

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Join us next time to continue play learning together.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Cowie, are you okay? It's my shoelace skin. Thanks Billy,

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's do this thing
