 It's time! It's time for what? Fall is direction. Sit back and relax. We'll sing, shout, and laugh. Oh, on the curious direction. Very nice. I'm glad you're back. Okay, now the clap changes a little bit. Lap, lap, clap, clap, clap, flap, flap, flap, flap. Slowing it down a little. Nice. Here we go. George Giraffe was curious, curious about the world. And so he was determined to find a boy or girl who would listen to the questions that were puzzling his mind. The who, the what, the when, the where, the how, and the why. Who? Jeanette Giraffe was curious, curious about the world. And so she was determined to find a boy or girl who would listen to the questions that were puzzling her mind. The who, the what, the when, the where, the how, and the why. The kids were fascinated by the curious Giraffe. Sometimes they made them wonder. Sometimes they made them laugh. Sometimes they do have questions that were puzzling their minds. The who, the what, the when, the where, the how, and the why. Very nice. Good remembering. Now we like to play who's who on the curious crew. So Brendan has offered to hold up Jeanette Giraffe. We just did a rhyme about her. Hi, Jeanette. Hello. Very good. Would Jeanette and Brendan find out who's who on the curious crew today? Go for it. Neha. Hi, Neha. My name's Sheehan. Hi, Sheehan. What's your name? Megan. Hi, Megan. Hi, Megan. Justice. Hi, Justice. What's your name? Bella. Hi, Bella. What's your name? Brendan. Hi, Brendan. Welcome, everybody, and Megan. Do you have a question or comment? This little dress, this little giraffe is named Curious. Hi, Curious. Okay, great. Well, welcome. Now let's see what the curious giraffes are wondering about today. We're going to start with their always their question. They look up and they see an eagle in the sky flying. And that starts the questions. Okay. The second verse we'll find out what they're wondering about today. Okay, let me remind you of the sign language in the chorus. Share one big sky. Here, share, as you push out a little for someone else, keep a little for you. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. And you know what? You can turn to the person next to you. How about Maya and Sheehan? What about Brendan and Megan? You two? And Justice and Bella. You two can turn and give each other a high five. You'll use Jeanette for that. So be gentle, Megan, alright? Here we go. Now let's give the world a big high five. 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. Okay. So yes, Brendan and Jeanette are going to work on that. Here we go. Giraffe looked over an eagle and said why was I born to walk? Why were you born to fly? Eagle just shrugged and gave a high five. Share one big sky. 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. Let the children and step when you have a birthday and how do you celebrate? Animals don't count them, but we think they're great and we all share one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah, we're different and all share and we can all care. We're different, but we all belong. If you listen carefully, what are they wondering about today? Look at this. When do you have a birthday and how do you celebrate? So what's the topic? Birthdays. Birthdays, yes. So to help us show when we have our birthdays and actually let's put it right between we happen to have two special birthdays this week. Megan and Bella, when are your birthdays? January 6th. January 6th. January 4th. January 4th. So they're going to maybe we'll let that go flat. Can you and Megan put your name cards next to January? See the road with January? What month is your birthday? My birthday is in September. September. She's going to find September. And Justice, when is your birthday? October 1st. October, that starts with an O, that's down here. October 1st. Mayah, when is your birthday? September. Another September. Brendan, show us when yours is. April. And in April, very nice. And Dorothy's birthday is in February. So, does anybody notice anything? Yes, Bella. There's two on this side and on this side. Two of the mums have two friends having birthdays together. Isn't that interesting? And Dorothy's having her own. And mine is on my own, and Brendan is on his own. And Justice. And Sienna wanted to be here today, but she has a cold and a cough. So, she's resting and getting better and she'll hopefully be back again. But happily, Justice is well and he can come. So, I'm very happy about that. So, thank you for asking about Sienna. It's nice to be remembered. That's great. Okay. We give that sometimes comes to our school. We broke a bone that was in her arm. So, we dropped her pictures at Tony and Daniels to make her feel better. How nice. So, your friend got hurt and couldn't be at school? She couldn't be at the school after on Tuesday and Thursday. Oh, okay. So, I know that she'll appreciate those cards. Alright. So, since we're doing birthdays, I wanted to teach you a birthday song. Like, happy birthday, happy birthday, that one that you told me. I know it. I see some o's and I know that. Do you recognize this? I think it's the one that I did at school. Because Daphne by who lives in Montague and used to teach at Leveret and Brenda, what would you like to say? She also taught at my school. And she taught at your school. And she's also my piano teacher. Yes. Okay. And she's my friend and we taught together and she taught our whole school her new birthday song. So, I wanted to teach it to you. It has two parts. First, we'll sing the pink words. The green words. Right. So, the pink words go like this. If you know it already sing with me, we'll sing it twice so all can catch on. Here we go. Happy. Without me, some of you got it. Go ahead. Happy. The second part goes like this. Okay, so this time we'll all start on happy, happy birthday and some of us will keep singing the pink and some of us will sing the green. Who would like to sing the green? Brendan? Brendan and Shyam can move to the green. Everybody else can stay on happy, happy birthday. And then we'll come back and sing this together. Okay, so pink, green, pink and the rest of us will do pink, pink, pink. Here it goes. And I'll watch you. If you need help, I'll help you. But I think we can do this. Here we go. Happy. Awesome. Isn't that a great new birthday song? I loved it when I heard it. Can you set them behind you? Sure. Okay, thank you. Now, before we go to the next song Bella I'm going to ask you to reach in and see what George wants to tell us about birthdays. Can you pull out the paper and then pass it and just let's see. Maya, you haven't had a turn yet. Yeah, pass it down to Maya. You can just pass it. Okay? Okay, and speak up. Remember to read clearly some facts that George was looking into about birthdays. More people celebrate their birthdays in August than any other month. Okay, wait a minute here. Did any of us celebrate our birthdays in August? No. But they checked into everybody's birthday. And I guess in the whole wide world we celebrate our birthdays in August but not with us. Okay, I was curious about that. However, more people are born on October 5th in the United States than any other day. Oh my goodness. So, Justice, your birthday is in October. What day in October? Do you remember? The 11th. Okay, so your birthday is close to the the day Okay, well that's even closer. October 5th is the day? Uh, yes. Okay, so look at this, Justice. The first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth. You're just four days away from that most, most birthday place. Interesting. Okay, what else does it say? In the past year, your hair will most likely have grown to 30 and a half inches. Okay, reach in here again. How's that possible for your hair to get 30 and a half inches in one year? Just a minute, I want to show us what 30 and a half inches is. I put in a tape measure and I agree with Brendan how is that possible 30 and a half. So where my finger is, if we didn't get haircuts, this is how long? I don't know whose hair they're talking about. I haven't shaved my head in one year. And it's only grown that much? You haven't had a haircut in a whole year? So do you question their fact? I think I would too. How many of you think your hair grows this long in one year? Not really. Maybe some people with straight hair, but not everybody. Maybe with curly hair. Maybe with curly hair if you stretched out the curls? Maybe. Just like mine is super long? Yours is super long and it's soft and curly, isn't it? Beautiful. Mine is and mine hasn't grown that long. And yours hasn't grown that long? So I don't think it's really true. I think it would just be that long if you didn't have a haircut for a thousand years. Maybe it would grow that long. There's this girl named Sayla she's my friend and her hair is already this long. Is it really? So she has not cut her hair that you know of? So even that one, let's see how long. Okay, that's about 18 inches. So 30 inches is long and Brendan raised a very interesting point. Sometimes you might hear somebody say something that says this is a fact but your own mind or heart might say I'm not so sure about that. I'm going to think some more about that. Maybe they're right, maybe they're not but it's always good to think for yourself. Okay, Maya, what else does that say? Since your last birthday you will have had about one thousand and four hundred sixty dreams. What's a dream? It's something that you dream about when you're sleeping. When you're sleeping? Anybody else want to say something more about that? It's how you process things in your life. It's kind of how you kind of filter out the problems in your life by dreaming and filtering out and kind of like, okay, so this has happened in my life and what should I do to fix it? That's an awesome way to understand dreams and I agree. A dream is when you're in your own world kind of. It happens inside you your own world. Nice way to say that. Justice did, you wanted to add some? Okay. It's like you having a vision but in your sleep. Oh, I love that. You all have done a beautiful job. Well, it's sort of like a movie in your sleep. You're having a vision in your own world. All of you had such an awesome way of describing that. I mean, in the day, she said it's like having a vision except at night. How can you have a vision in the daytime? It's like daydreaming. Did you ever have the term daydreaming? A little. I guess what? I have. You have justice? And what do you think daydreaming is? It's one you're having a dream in the day. In the day? In your head? Simple as that. Did you have your hand up? Yes. Sorry, his neck was in. Go ahead. A dream is when it's like when you're sleeping and you have your own little show on. Your own show. Nobody else sees it by you. And it can be scary. It can be scary sometimes. It can't. Sometimes it can be scary. It's true. Yes? I just forgot what I was going to say. And is that all the facts you have there? You can set that down next to you. Before we move to our game I want to teach you I introduced this song last time but I want to take a minute more to teach it again. The song that we'll sing with the passing of the pillows game. This is like a wish for somebody. It could be on their birthday it could be when they've been hurt or it could just be in some parts of the world they say As-salam-Alaikum just as a greeting. As-salam we sing that in the peace song. We did it one other time and As-salam means peace Alaikum be upon you or be with you. So everybody say actually each line will repeat itself. So I'll say it once and you say it. As-salam-Alaikum Alaikum As-salam As-salam-Alaikum Alaikum As-salam Peace be upon you and upon you peace Peace be upon you and upon you peace May your joys be many and may your sorrows cease May your joys be many and may your sorrows cease and then we'll all say may they cease may they cease Great. Okay. It's like really hard It's hard to remember all that? I think it'll be easier when we're singing it and you're, I'm playing So now we're going to pass the pillows Pillows. And let's see, Maya when they get down to you what should we do? Do you want to just send them back one by one or do you want to carry them over to her? Send them back. Either way, the person on the end gets to decide and you can just send them one by one okay and we'll sing the song as we go and the song of peace for all people Okay Here we go You'll catch on As-salamu alaykum alaykum as-salam As-salam alaykum alaykum as-salam You peace upon you and upon you peace You're very busy, aren't you? Yep May your joys be many and may your joys be many and may your sorrows be many Okay, you can sit down after this one Hold on to them, hold on now Everybody have one? Who has the shy giraffe? You do? I do. Okay, Brenda reach in and pull out your question card Who? Today you get to think of questions that start with who? I really want to turn Everybody got to turn with this with pillows and anyone at all can think of a who question Raise your hand when you have a thought I'm going to count to five and let everybody think for a minute I see, Brenda's ready Who's Mr. Pickleface? Uh-oh, I don't know Was that a makeup question? Is there really a Mr. Pickleface? Maybe He's going to leave us curious Bella, do you have a who question? Yeah Who is Mr. Giraffe? Who is Mr. Giraffe?

The waffle girl Who's the waffle girl from a song? Yeah And Justice Who is Mr. Nobody? Nobody Nobody So this game helps you think of questions I bet you'll think of more later That's a true story You know how this song says May your joys be many And may your sorrows cease Well, I had I have many joys Many, many joys But over vacation I had a sorrow And my sorrow was that I got sick And I felt crummy And so I wrote a song about it Oh yeah, you taught me that I started to show you Because you felt sick And I thought I would teach it to you And this song I'm going to do acapella So I'm going to say these words And you're going to say those words When you had the Assalamu Alaikum Can you flip it back one more time? Sure Just to say something? Sure When you had that It looked like May they cease, get more soap and wash your hands That is very funny So that Okay, and may they cease And one way to make the sorrow cease is get more soap and wash your hands How funny, and why would that be true? Cold Cold, you keep them from spreading the germs So here we go There's some of our family catching a sneeze So here are the words And I'll sing it and I'll act it And you sing it with me I feel sick Say that It's no fun My throat hurts My throat hurts My nose runs My head aches My head aches My eyes burn My eyes burn And then together we say Very sad, I got the germ I'm so very, very sad I got the germ Let's do that again Have you ever been sick?
