I'm glad I did my classroom job today.

It feels good to be big enough to do a job that helps.

Ugga-mugga.

What are you doing today, neighbor?

- (Teacher Harriet): Hello, neighbors!

Today, we're visiting some friends at school.

This is classroom one, where they're making a special kind of paper.

Did you know paper can be wet and mushy before it dries?

Squish all the water out.

When it dries, it's flat, like the kind of paper we use to draw on.

In our second classroom, they're building animal shelters out of clay.

Shelter is another word fo r home, or a place to live in that is safe and dry.

These shelters are for toy animals.

In classroom three, the children are learning about clocks.

Clocks help us know what time of day it is.

Look!

They've made a pretend clock with numbers on the table.

It helps them practice telling time.

You can do it on the floor as well.

(Harriet laughs.)

And even pretend that you're the hands of a clock.

Paper... clay... and clocks.

What a great day at school!

Goodbye, neighbor!

- I like spending time with you.

Hi, neighbor!

I'm helping my mom water her sunflowers with this!

- Hi, Daniel.

Hi, neighbor.

- Do you want to help too?

Come on!

Here's some water for you.

(giggling) Look, Mom!

I finished watering the sunflowers!

- Nice work, helper tiger!

- Thanks!

- Now, would you mind helping me with one more job?

- OK!

What is it?

- Will you help feed the fish?

I just bought them new food.

- You bought the fish new food too?

Wow, Mom, you do a lot of things.

- We all do a lot of things.

Everyone has a job to do in this family.

Me, Dad, and even you.

- Me too?

What do I do?

- Well, you do lots of important things.

You clean your room, you help me water my sunflowers, and you feed the fish!
