 It's time! It's time! It's time! For what? For the Curious Giraffe Show! Sit back and relax, so we'll sing, chat, and laugh all on the Curious Giraffe Show! I am so glad to see you here today, and we have a new friend that Megan, who's been here before, will use Jeanette to help us find out who's who on the Curious Crew today. So you may start. What's your name? My name is Aurora. Hi, Aurora! What's your name? Emily. Hi, Emily. What's your name? Dona. Hi, Dona. Hi, Milo. What's your name? Lauren. Hi, Lauren. What's your name? Megan. Hi, Megan. What's your name? Dorothy. Hi, Dorothy. And what's your name? Jeanette. Hi, Jeanette. I am Jeanette, and I am so excited that I got invited to be on the Curious Giraffe Show because I'm so curious. Some questions are easier than other questions, but I tell Dorothy what I'm wondering about, and she puts together the show. So my friend George over there, he's curious too, but he's very quiet, so he watches with his eyes and his ears that are hiding under his hat, but he listens. So we both think of good questions, and you're going to think of questions and answers, and just have a good time singing. All right? Ready to start? Okay. So let's start with her. Anybody else want to hold this well? Okay, why don't we pass it along? Each of you have a few minutes with it, but actually, yeah, but we'll remember the sign language for the Share One Big Sky. So how about Emily, keep it for the whole song, and then we'll change during the song. Okay. So in this song, we'll do one verse we've done before, and then a new verse. Yeah, we're different, and we know it, but we all get along, because we can all share, and we can all care. We're different, but we all belong. Nice. Remember to hook your hands together for belong. Now here's the new verse. His friends said we'll be with you, and we'll stand proud underneath this one big sky. Oh yeah, here we go. Share one big sky, share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah, we're different, and we know it, but we all get along, because we can all share, and we can all care. We're different, but we all belong. First part of the song, what were their questions? The giraffe is going to walk, and why is the eagle going to fly? And is there a good answer? Can anybody think of an answer? Donate? Because a giraffe is a landing, and the eagle is a sky animal. Beautiful answer. They live different places, so they need to have different ways to get around. Emily, did you want to say anything? It's also because the giraffe is a mammal, and the eagle's not. That's right. Exactly. And Aurora, did you want to say something? The eagle's bones are hollow, so it's less heavy than the giraffe, so it can fly. Wow. Look how much we learned from just asking a simple question. Thank you all. Megan? Because giraffes usually live in really hot places, so they can get hot in the sky because it's closer to the sun. Oh, that's another thought. That's a very interesting thought too. Okay, now, the second part says, I wish I could be brave. So, today we're going to talk about being brave. That's our new topic. Megan? I'm guessing that it was... Can you speak up a little louder? I'm guessing that it was George who said that because he was shy. I bet that idea came from George. He wants to be brave and speak up, but it's hard. Okay, so we're going to talk about some times that we feel a little worried, and we have to just reach inside and get a little braver. Now, this song is called Owl Moon, and it was made up by a little girl whose family was going camping. And she was worried about going camping. She was used to having a house around her at night. So, she made up this beautiful song about being brave outside. Okay, so first she says, oh, you've got to be quiet under a shining owl moon. Oh, you've got to be quiet under a shining owl moon. That is right. The father whose name is there, like your sister. But the father's name is Bruce O'Brien, and the father said that they were riding to the campsite, and the little girl started singing in the back seat, and he had his tape recorder, and he recorded it. And so then together they kind of made it some more verses. But isn't that a beautiful song? That's one way. When you get worried is to sing your way through, right? Anybody else ever been worried outside? Had to be brave outdoors somewhere, or sometime. Okay, Megan. The bus on riding to school only gets really loud. I just softly sing to myself. Oh, when the bus gets really loud, she handles that. She's brave by softly singing to herself. Anybody else have ideas when they think of, yes, Milo? When I got my ad noise out. Yes, and what happened when you had your ad noise out? Well, I couldn't feel it. You couldn't feel it? So you had to be brave and trust that you would be okay? Can you tell everybody where were your ad noise? It was right there. That's right. Inside his throat. And you had to be brave and trust the doctors to take it out and you would feel better after. I had a similar time when I got my cast on. Speak up loudly so everybody can hear you. When they had the first cast on, it went up all the way to here. Her first cast when she broke her leg was from the top of her leg down. Just her toes were showing and she had to be brave. How did you handle that? Was that a way that you thought in your head or your heart, I have to be brave? You just thought that? And was anybody able to be with you? Like mommy or daddy or both of them? So that helped. Emily, you had an accident. You had to be brave. I didn't actually have to very much. No? No, I didn't have a cast. It was right under the gross plate. So they couldn't put a cast. Oh wow. Okay. So you know that first song was about a little girl who was worried about going camping. And it made me remember that I get nervous outside when there's a thunderstorm. I just get the jitters. And so I have a friend named Tim Seston and his family was camping. And they got caught in a thunderstorm. But they turned it into something fun. And it helped them to be brave to sing this song. So I have a drum that we're going to use to be the thunder. And I would like you to scoot up so that one hand can reach the drum. And use your hands to show lightning coming down from the sky and that zigzag. Lightning and gentle raindrops on the drum. And then that thunder. And then stop so you can hear the story. Okay? All right. Help me out with this. Bring on the lightning. Bring on the rain. Bring on the thunder. I'm not afraid. Bring on the lightning. Bring on the thunder. I'm not afraid. Well, the clouds were rolling over the mountain. And the rain comes pouring down across the lake. It's 9.37 up in the cabin. The lights are out. But the kids are awake because bring on the lightning. Bring on the rain. Bring on the thunder. Bring on the thunder. Bring on the thunder. Staring in the fire. We closed the glow of the embers. The crackling of timber. The scent of the ashes. The taste of some mores. And bring on the lightning. Bring on the rain. Bring on. Bring on the thunder. I'm not afraid. We're playing the guitar. We're banging the drum. The rain on the rooftop is set in the rhythm. We raise our voices. Come let it come. So bring on the rain. Bring on. But these are the m- Isn't that a nice way to deal with a worrisome time? Sing it out. Sing it out. All right. So have any of you ever been worried in a thunderstorm? Don't you sometimes feel that way? Yeah. Yeah. So there's another time that we have to be brave. And that's when we try something new. And my friends, David and Jenny, they sing in a group called Two of a Kind. They made up a song about being all by yourself and going into a new place to meet new people. And this song is called Will I Find a Friend. Have you ever had to do that to go into a new place and meet new people? Well, I made up a song. Before we do this one, I made up one. Yes, Dona? Yes, I had to do that. Do you remember when? I think it was last year. Last year, you started in a new class or something, or a new camp. I think all of you who have come on to this show have had that first day. And we're just going to sing shortly. First day tummy butterflies. We'll do it twice. And you're going to make little butterflies in your tummy. Okay? It goes like this. First day tummy butterflies. All those funny feelings running round inside. I don't know what will happen. It's a big surprise. So take a breath. And step by step. We'll catch the butterflies. Catch. So take a breath and step by step we'll catch those butterflies. So this is a song about a child going in on his or her first time with a new group. Okay. Here we go. In this strange new place Someone with a friendly smile On a friendly In this strange new place Someone's most everywhere I looked them up and was feeling scared Cause everything was new I didn't know how I should act Or what I should do In this strange new place Someone with a friendly smile I saw in your eyes That you were just as scared as me And then I would sing and dance Until a friend In this great new place You have such a friendly smile And a friendly In this great new place Such a friendly smile And a friendly All of you have become new friends in a new place And that makes it a great place Look at the word that's under those two Yeah. What is that word? Yeah. That says chorus. That's the part you sing in between the verses. The parts that tell the story. Good for you. I've met a lot of kids watching. We'll be curious about that too. Yeah, I noticed that too. All right. And so I think it takes courage to ask questions in new places. And I have a friend named Sarah Pertle Who wrote a song about having the courage of a dandelion. A dandelion. Isn't that funny? Yeah. Why do you think a dandelion... Why does she choose a dandelion to be courageous? I don't know. I don't know either. Except in the song... Because it's bright? It's bright. And it's one of the first brave flowers to come out In the springtime when it's still cold and wet And windy weather. Those dandelions have courage. And she says to push back the stone When the spring joy is rising. So let's enjoy this song. Yeah, go ahead. And we are making like these little things Where there's a shadow of our face And on like a dandelion When we're like blowing away a wish. Really? Because we're doing an I Wish poem Which is kind of... So it's kind of like a wish. It certainly is. That's a wonderful Another way to think about dandelions That you can make wishes with them. So let's sing We have the courage of the dandelion. Okay? Ready? Are you ready? Sit up tall. Pull up that courage. Here we go. We have the courage of the dandelion To push back the stone When the spring joy is rising We have the courage of the dandelion We are made of the stuff That never gives up And the courage of the butterfly We have the courage Small space and soaring to the sky We have the courage of the butterfly We are made of the stuff That never gives up We have the courage of the gray squirrel We have the courage of the gray squirrel To hold on tight in the high tree When the wind gives it a word Of the gray squirrel We are made of the stuff That never gives up Especially like that she chose things That you don't usually think about being courageous A little flower A little butterfly That's so light But it's courageous to fly out into the world A gray squirrel Holds on in the strong winds And what did the waterfall do? It keeps flowing and Megan? It always runs hard It runs hard so it has courage To push through the rocks And over the rocks Okay, so I have more courage When I sing So my friend Vincent Nunes Wrote a song I am strong So I would like you to stand up And we're going to use A little bit of body language To show this And it goes like this I'll sing a line You sing it back and echo And then we'll sing together I am smart And I am strong And no one No one No one's gonna keep me down I said no one No one No one's gonna keep me down I am smart I am smart And I am strong No one's gonna keep me down I said no No one's gonna keep me down And I am No one's gonna keep me down I said no. No one's gonna keep me down. And I am strong. No one's gonna keep me down. I said no. No one's gonna keep me down. I said no one. No one's gonna keep me down. No, I won't keep me down, I said no, it's gonna keep me down, everybody. All right, now I have a seat, and we are almost out of time, so I just want to check. We talked about being brave outside in the dark, being brave in the thunderstorm, being brave, meeting new friends, Emily. Can we open the mystery box now? Actually, okay, yes, I will show you what's in the mystery box, and because we won't have time to use it this time, we're going to use it in our very next show. But I will show you what's in here, because it's very important. Okay, we're going to make, have you ever heard of a number line that goes from 1 up to 10 or higher? Well, this is a feelings line, and how is this face? Happy, confident, happy. So we're going to have a feeling line from happy. How's this face feeling? Nervous. Nervous. Good, any other words for that feeling? Nervous, scared, yeah, nervous, upset, all those good words. Yeah, uncomfortable, right? And how about this one? Yes, donate. Surprise. Surprise, we're also really scared. This one's like, hmm, I'm a little uncomfortable, and this one's like, oh no! Okay, so Laura, will you put that at your end of the line? And in our next show, we're going to use those very same faces. We'll leave them right there. And right now, let's stand up and sing goodbye to this program. And soon we'll use our feeling line in the next show. Okay, so I can use it two places. Okay, let's join hands and turn to our audience's file and remind them to keep singing. Ready? Keep singing, keep looking up, keep asking questions and never give up. Keep singing, keep looking up, keep asking questions and never give up. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time. Bye.
