It's imagination time with Katie. Hey friends.
This is a special episode of Imagination Time with Katie.
In this episode, we're going to imagine what it might be like to go to school.
If you've been to school before, you might be able to picture your school in your mind.
Or maybe you'd like to imagine a whole different kind of school.
If you haven't been to school yet, this special imagination adventure will help you imagine what it might be like. and hopefully help you feel comfortable and confident for your first day.
Let's go! It's good to be with you my friend Hello I'm glad we're together again We've got Zach on the keys Katie's singing La-la-la-la-la We'll have some fun in our imagination Go on adventures again and again It's good to be with you, my friend Hi friends I'm Katie, and Zach is here playing the piano.
Hello, hello. Are you ready to imagine your first day of school?
Let's try it together. Zach and I will be with you every step of the way.
We'll start by closing our eyes. and taking a deep breath all together.
In one, two, three, hold it. Out three two one.
Let's imagine. It's the morning of your first day of school.
You went to bed nice and early the night before.
So you wake up feeling rested and ready for the day.
Maybe the sun is shining. Or maybe it's cloudy.
What do you imagine? How's the weather?
How's the weather? How's the weather today?
Is it sunny? Is it rainy? Is it cloudy?
Is it snowy? How's the weather today? whatever the weather might be.
Today is going to be a special day. Today, we'll meet new friends. our new teacher, and we'll learn and explore new things.
How do you feel about all the new things we'll be doing today?
Maybe you feel excited! or maybe you have butterflies in your tummy.
Maybe you're feeling a bit of both. When I'm feeling big feelings I stop and see How the big feelings are feeling in Whether you're feeling excited or nervous or a bit of both, it's okay.
It's normal to feel that way when you try something new.
I believe in you, and I know That everything is going to be alright.
You can do it! Let's imagine the different ways we might get to school.
Maybe your school is close enough that you can walk there.
Walking, walking. Or maybe you drive in a car.
Driving in my car, vroom, vroom, vroom. Or maybe you take the school bus.
Wheels on the bus go round and round. Every school might be a bit different.
But one thing that's the same at all schools is our parents don't come with us.
We say goodbye at the beginning of the day and then meet them again when school is over.
It can be hard to say goodbye. When things get hard, we can take a deep breath and imagine a brave feeling in our hearts.
Let's try it all together. In one, two, three, hold it.
Out three, two, one We can do it. Let's imagine being brave and saying, see you later.
See you later. See you later. See you later.
Take care. Goodbye. Let's imagine going into our classroom for the very first time.
I imagine our classroom is filled with colorful and happy pictures.
I imagine I can see a rainbow on the wall.
I see a rainbow in the sky and a big board with the letters of the alphabet on it.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G What else do you imagine you see in the classroom?
Maybe you see little tables and chairs that are just your size.
Perfect for sitting in and drawing a picture with crayons. or maybe you see a cozy corner with big cushions next to a bookshelf.
It looks like the perfect place to look through books or just take a quiet break.
I imagine I see our teacher. They're smiling and saying hello.
Hello, hello, hello, how are you? Hello, teacher.
I imagine they are friendly and happy as they welcome us into the room.
If we ever need anything, the teacher can help us. and they'll help us learn lots of new things.
On one side of the classroom, I imagine I see a row of cubbies and hooks.
Can you see it in your mind? That's where we'll hang our things.
Let's imagine hanging up our belongings.
If we need anything from our bag during the day, we know it's right here waiting for us.
I imagine there are other bags hanging there too.
Those belong to our classmates. Let's imagine them.
I see new friends, all playing in different areas of the room.
I imagine I see a girl playing with blocks.
And a boy, looking at a book. It's their first day of school, too.
I wonder how they're feeling. They might be feeling excited.
Or maybe a little bit nervous. We can smile at them and say hello.
Hello, hello, what's your name? I imagine they are smiling too.
It feels nice to make new friends. I imagine the teacher is calling us over to a big, soft carpet on the floor.
Let's imagine walking over and sitting down with our new friends.
Our day at school has begun. Soon, we're singing songs.
This is the way we sing a song. And playing games.
This is the way we play a game And exploring new toys This is the way we share our toys.
And taking turns with new friends. This is the way we take turns.
And before we know it, school is almost over.
It's time to clean up the classroom and get ready to go home.
Clean up, clean up Everybody let's clean up Clean up, clean up Put your things away Don't forget, our belongings are hanging up.
Let's make sure we take them home. Let's imagine waving goodbye to our friends and our teacher.
We'll see them again tomorrow. Bye, bye, goodbye Bye, bye, bye, goodbye And now it's time to go home.
Let's imagine giving our parents a big hug.
Skittin' my rank, a dink, a dink Skittin' my rank, a dew I love you We did it!
We imagined our first day of school. Every day at school brings something new to discover.
It was a lot of fun to imagine those new things all together.
I hope your first day of school is just as fun as we imagined.
I know you can do it. because you are brave and kind and you're the best at being you.
