 It's time! It's time for what? For the Kirstera show. Sit back and relax up. We'll sing that and laugh out on the Kirstera show. Get ready for the second part. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. I'm going to slow it down a little bit. There 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. Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh. 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. Huh, the kids were fascinated by the curious giraffes. Sometimes they made them wonder. Sometimes they made them laugh. Sometimes they do like questions that were puzzling their minds. The who, the what, the when, the where, the how, and the why. Back everybody. And today, Sienna is going to help Giselle introduce the curious krill. Jeanette, my mistake. Jeanette, thank you. Good listening. Okay, would you ask who's who? It's your name, Megan. Hi, Megan. Hi, Megan. What's your name? Meya. Hi, Meya. What's your name? Sienna. Hi, Sienna. What's your name? Bella. Hi, Bella. What's your name? She, him. Hi, She, him. What's your name? Brendan. Hi, Brendan. What's your name? Dorothy. Hi, Dorothy. Hi, everybody. Welcome back. So today, I see that each of you has a friend with you. Megan, who do you have? Cow. Cow? A curious cow? Okay. And who do you have? Pelican. Pelican. And remind us again, the name of yours? Jeanette. Jeanette. And who do you have? A giraffe. A giraffe? I see two giraffes. A big one and a little one. Maybe a parent and a baby? Mama. A mama, you think? Okay. I have a zebra. And a zebra. And who are you? And I have George. You have George the curious giraffe. Okay, so we are opening our circle, remembering to open our friendships and our circles and our show to whoever would like to be included. So we have a song about that called Open the Circle. Let's sing it to everybody. Open the circle. The time has come. Nobody's left out. Nice. Very nice. Put your arms on each other's shoulders and welcome everybody. Okay. Open the circle. The time has come. Open the circle. Nice. And my friends, Frank and Ted, Frank Hernandez and Ted Warmbrand, who wrote this song, sometimes people say, why don't you say it's our circle. We'll keep it open. And they said, well, we want each person to know it's my circle. And if I'm with a group of friends and I notice somebody who's left out and maybe my friends don't. I can open the circle and say, come on over. You want to play? You want to sing? You want to do what I'm doing? So that's why they kept it. It's my circle and I'll keep it open. So we each take care of that. Okay, so let's find out what's on the curious giraffe's mind today. So we're going to start with the first we've done before about the zebra. And then giraffe is going to look at the parents. So Bella, if you hold that up so the baby and the parent show. Very nice. Okay, so here we go. Okay, and you'll need your hands for the chorus part. Here we go. Giraffe looked over at the zebra and said, why do I have spots? Why do you have stripes? Zebra just shrugged and said, we come in all types but 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 we know and thought we all get along. Cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Nice job on the signs now. Giraffe looked over at the parents and said, every day I'm growing bigger. Someday I'll be grown up too. I wonder what I will be in this one big sky. Oh yeah, share one big sky, share one big sky. Give the high five. Yeah, we're different and we know and thought we all get along. Cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. So, we sang about it but let's slow down. What is the question on Giraffe's mind today? Let you all think and then you'll each get a chance to tell us what you think. Brendan, what do you think? What he will be into when he's grown up. When he's bigger, yes. Did you want to say it a different way? The same thing. Okay, yeah, yeah. And I just was wondering, have any of you ever asked yourself that question, Megan? That he's, well, waiting until he's grown up to see what he's able to do. Yeah, yeah, and we can just wait and see but maybe we have some ideas. Do you have anybody here have an idea thinking about what they might like to do when they are bigger and can do what they want to do? Maybe a lawyer or a therapist or maybe a designer. Wow, great ideas. Yes, Bella. Maybe I want to be an artist. An artist would be wonderful. Megan. Okay, if you think of it again you can put your hand up and let us know. Anybody else want to offer an idea? Yes, Brendan. A pilot. A pilot. Maya and Sandy, you have any ideas yet? Maybe a singer. A singer, yes. Maya? I'm not sure. Okay, keep thinking about it. Megan. A zookeeper. A zookeeper could be fun. Wow. Okay, so we have songs about something called potential. That's potential. Who could tell us what potential means? All right, Brendan is ready. What do you think? I'm able to do something. I've got potential in something. You can do it. You know you can do it. I have potential in something. That's what I think. Yes. That's an excellent way to say it. Anybody else? Talent or future. A future talent or something you have the potential, the capability to do. Megan? That you're really good at. Yes, or if you work at it you get good at it, right? I have the potential. All right, great. So let's sing a song that's by my friend Liz Buchanan. What could I become? What could I become? I'm just a little sea. I could be a sunflower. I could be a tree. And lots of juicy apples could all begin with me. Because I've got potential. I've got potential. I'm a little sea. I'm a little sea. What could I become? I'm just a little sea. I could be a redwood and grow 300. I could grow some pumpkins in time for Halloween. Because I've got potential. I've got potential. I'm a little sea. I'm a little sea. Very nice. So a seed takes time. But I thought this was a nice idea because we're in springtime. And this is the time that people start thinking about planting little seeds. And expecting them to grow. And it's planted a lot of them. Have you really? Do you know what you're going to be growing? Because I have this thing that has lights. And that gives sunlight and we water it. And there's these little shells that you can put the planted plants on. So is that indoors or outdoors? Indoor. Indoor is right now while the weather is cold. But you have started your seeds. Wow. Yes, Brittany. I've got some outdoor seeds. And have you already put them in the ground or are you going to put them in the ground? I think put them in the ground. And do you know what you're hoping to grow? Not really. I just put a bunch of random seeds in the ground. Oh, that'll be fun. You want to see what they become? I think that'll be a mighty interesting garden. I close my eyes and just dip my hand into the seed packages. And then take some out and then just prop them in the ground. Okay, I have an idea. Everybody reach out and take an imaginary seed and put it into your heart. And put a little soil over it. And shine a little light on it. Pour or sprinkle a little water on it. And pat it and let it grow. And we'll see what grows. And I hope that I can keep an eye on each of you as you grow. And find out what you do with your life. I love your ideas so far. Okay, so I have this next song about pelican. Will you hold up the pelican there? Pelican pilot. I wrote this after watching real pelicans. They look like pilots because their wings are so long like airplanes. And they don't flap a lot. Like some birds flap a lot. But they stretch out those wings and then they glide. Just a little bit above the water. And I always was amazed. Why didn't they hit the water? But somehow they were able to glide and steer so well. So this song is about that and something more. But it's about practicing. Yes. I saw this bird that could walk on top of water. Oh, I wonder what it was. That's really... In the song I say that the pelican is kind of magic. And I think the bird you saw had its own kind of magic to walk on the water. I wonder what it was. I know of a lizard that can walk on water, but not a bird. Well, it's all very interesting. Well, it can run on water. It can't stand on water. It can run on water for only a short distance. So Bella, did you get to see the bird doing that? Yeah. How exciting. Okay, well let's sing about pelican pilot. Pelican pilot sails over the sea Gliding just inches from splashdown is he Pelican pilot defies gravity This is wonder of seabirds, magician at sea Now some bills are narrow and some bills are wide Each made to catch food and to get it inside But pelican's bill is so far out in front He awkwardly splashes and crashes and snatches And finally catches his lunch Pelican pilot sails over the sea Gliding just inches from splashdown is he Pelican pilot defies gravity This is wonder of seabirds, magician at sea Now some things are heavy and some things are light Most birds are naturally airborne in flight Pelican pilot so large in the rear Defying all physics, he's able to steer Off and fly, pelican pilot sails over the sea Gliding just inches from splashdown is he Pelican pilot defies gravity This is wonder of seabirds, magician at sea Now looking at him and his strange funny show One never would guess, one never would know He's hiding a magical pouch of great size He scoops up the best lunch, yes he gets the prize Pelican inches from splashdown is he Pelican pilot defies gravity This is wonder of seabirds, magician at sea So if you're feeling awkward just think of this guy Stretch out what you've got and give things a try If pelican pilot can get off the ground There's hope for us all, oh yes magic abouts Last time, pelican pilot sails Gliding just inches from splashdown is he Pelican pilot defies gravity This is wonder of seabirds, magician at sea Wow nice singing of a brand new song Now there is an important word here defies There's one word and gravity or two words I want to check in Brendan you were going to explain what defies means It means to repel like do the opposite even though it's forcing you to do something You defy something, you kind of go on protest Even though someone's forcing you to do something You do it anyways, so like pelican pilot Even though gravity is pushing down on him He defies it and still goes up Exactly, that was a beautiful, and what is gravity? Somebody else? Maya? Gravity is the force that's pushing down on us So we can't float like an air We can't float because we know gravity It's like space It's like space? In space is there gravity? No No, but on our planet earth it's the pull that keeps us on the planet Yes, okay very good I think we're going to go right to our story time And we're going to do it a new and different way It's the story of grandmother tree And I wanted to share it today because children sometimes think We have to wait till we're big to make a difference But this is a story about real kids in a real town It happens to be where Maya was in school And where I used to be in school Where they saved a tree And I thought today we would act it out while we sing it And I thought if we pass out the pillows Just pass them down When you get your pillow Pull out the card And see what's there No, not this time We're going to use them a different way this time Pull out the card And see what it has And if you would help the children who are not yet reading And how about you each? Brendan, which part did you get? Tree Okay, and what part did you get? Teacher And what part did you get? Principal Principal, you're dressed like a principal today Yes Kid Kid Kid Okay, so is everybody happy with the part you got? Okay And Brendan, to be the tree You are going to hold your arms up like a tree for a long time Do you think you can do that? Should I stand up? Yes, when we start Do you think you can do that? Yeah, I can Awesome Okay, you can leave your cards on the floor This is going to be fun How about principal? I'm going to give you the job When it's time in this That's you So Brendan, you'll be standing up being the tree Right where you are And then the principal is going to come along And put a red X on you Now, when she does that You want to hold out your shirt at that point And help her get this on there? Would that be okay? Yeah, sure Okay, so Bella, do you think you can do that? And he'll help you if you need help But otherwise, we'll sing this story The kids are going to play around the tree During the part we say they're playing around the tree You're going to pretend to build fairy houses I need to be careful You're going to go and see the principal So maybe the tree How about you stand right there Stand up tall And I brought this to be the seat That is in... There's a stone at the bottom of this real tree And the children get to sit there So kids can take turns sitting on the nice stool And principal How about you stand up over there near the nice plant? Okay Very nice And the teacher The teacher, I guess You can stand up too You'll be between the tree and the principal Yeah, you And I'm going to give you this for the right You'll need it at a certain part of the song Okay And the kids You can... Why don't you move the animals and pillows out of the way Okay So that you can put them behind you That'd be great And we'll sing The Grandmother Tree About real kids who saved this tree from being cut down Okay And you guys, feel free to come over Be around the school wherever it says you are Okay And sing with me if you know it On Lebron's school playground On one side you'll see Our very own guardian grandmother tree She stood long before The old black top was paved And here's the true story of how she was saved Grandmother was just like all pines in this place Except that on one side she has a kind face And down near the ground There's a great resting place A stone is ingrown in her trunk near the base On hot sunny days Children played in her shade Around her white trunk Fairy houses are made While she watches over The new trail beyond Right next to the wetland That small tadpole pond And so set in the scene Where we played every day It's how we expected Always to stay Till one clear blue morning We all were dismayed That's alright, you keep working on it But that's the hardest part On grandmother's truck A red X had been sprayed Now what did this mean Tell us what could this be Oh why have they painted Our grandmother tree And their hearts filled with dread Why was she crossed out Would our friends soon be dead Well, the kids started screaming But then so be They could take time to write Let's go ahead and write your letters Letters to save her speak up for her rights Now all of you will go to the principal They met with the principal Found out the facts Why grandmother tree Had been marked for the X She said that her branches Point up in her high branches Had grown much too tall And if the wind got too strong They could fall on us all Could they trim the top part And leave us the rest Could they slow down and think Before taking the best She said their show of concern You nod your head And then point for them to leave But they should just go Now that they've had their And with songs and with trembling fears They are their sad tears They offered her hugs This is a hugger They kissed her rough bark Bid farewell Give her blow kisses Bid farewell to her bugs Well, they held off the cutting Until school was out When she was cut down They would not be about When fall came they dreaded That big empty space They saw her kind face They stepped back and studied Her branches up high Grandma had a haircut Way up in the sky The kids hugged their teacher Give your teacher a hug They all worked together to save her Who hugged them right back Now grandmother winked Said that whole happy tack And mother still winked Said that I want to especially clap for Brynden Because what was painful? That was a hard part To keep your hands To keep your pose Is very hard to keep it going That long Okay, we're going to sing A little bit of so many stars And then we'll have to wrap it up for today So, so many stars You can't count them all And this Okay, here we go So many stars You can't count them all The star is a great fireball From far away Will someone else hear you? Or are you alone? Or does somebody hear you? No Sometimes? Okay, maybe you'll leave a message Well, it's that cell phone Was once just a dream And from far We'll sing our goodbye song So everybody stand up Stretch your legs You've been sitting a long time Come on over this way Oh, okay You want to keep... Okay, here we go Remember the song? Let's sway a little bit Get the rhythm going Let's let Bella up front Where she can be seen Here we go Keep singing Keep singing
