Guess what?
We have a new friend coming to school today.
Come inside!
- Woo!
- Hi!
- Look who's here.
- Hello - Welcome to our school, Jodi.
I'm Teacher Harriet, and we're happy you're here!
- Hi.
- Oh!
What a lovely classroom.
Look at all the fun things you can do here.
- It doesn't look like my old school.
I don't like this.
- I know a new school can look different and feel a little strange at first, but look around.
Can you find something or maybe someone you know?
- Find something I know... Daniel Tiger!
That's someone I know!
- Hi, Jodi!
- Hi.
Daniel's my next-door neighbor.
That does make me feel better.
- Daniel, how would you like to be Jodi's special First Day Friend and help her meet your other classmates?
- I can do that!
- OK, my JoJo-Bean, Teacher Harriet is gonna take good care of you... just like the teacher at your old school.
It's time for me to go to work, but I'll be back later to pick you up, OK?
- OK. - Have a great first day.
- Bye, Mama.
- Daniel, will you show Jodi where we put our things?
- Sure.
We put our backpacks in our cubbies.
This is my cubby.
And this is where Tigey likes to take a nap.
Goodnight, Tigey.
- That's me!
- Yeah, that's your cubby.
Don't you want to put Benji in your cubby, too?
- No...
I want to keep him with me.
- OK. - (Teacher Harriet): It's Circle Time.
- Follow me!
- Good morning, friends!
We have a new classmate with us today.
Welcome, Jodi.
- Hiya Jodi.
- Hi, Jodi.
- Our new friend!
- Is she going to stay the whole day?
Will she be here again tomorrow?
- Yes she is, and she will.
And because today is Jodi's first day here, let's sing her our Hello Song!
Daniel will you start?

We didn't have that toy at my old school.
- Oh.
But you had a castle like this at your old school, right?
- No...
I've never seen that before.
(gasping) Is that a bunny?!
That's something I know!
We had a pet bunny at my old school too!
- That's Snowball.
We all get to help take care of him!
You can pet him if you want.
- Nice bunny.
I miss my old school, but Snowball makes me feel a little bit better.
Hi, Snowball!
Want to be my friend?
- I think Snowball likes Benji!
What if Snowball and Benji were really friends?
Then they could go to school and play together.
Hey... do you want to make-believe with me?

I liked the play kitchen at my old school.
- Let's play restaurant!
I'll be the chef.
- Yum!
I'm hungry.
- Welcome to the orange restaurant!
What would you like to eat Jodi?
- May I have some pan-pans?
- Pan-pans?
Are they orange?
You need to order something that's orange.
- But... when we played restaurant at my old school, we always cooked pan-pans.
I don't want to play this anymore.
- Ooh!
How about some... orange pan-cakes?
- Orange pancakes, comin' right up!
(laughing) Where'd Jodi go?
Why aren't you playing, Jodi?
- We didn't play restaurant that way at my old school.
It feels really... different here.
- Oh, you didn't know how to play that game.
Let's find something else you do know.
♪ Wherever you go... - ...you can find ♪ ♪ Something you know ♪ ♪ To help you feel better ♪ - Hmm...
I found something!
- What?
What did you find?
- A Tigey the Adventure Tiger book!
- There are Tigey books here, just like at my old school.
That makes me feel better.
- Tigey on the Tightrope!
Can I read it with you?
- Sure!
- "One day, Tigey was going on an adventure "in the forest, and he saw a puppy stuck in a tree!"
- Oh, no!
Save the puppy!
- "So, Tigey had to get from one treetop to the other."
- "But he can't fly!
Tigeys don't have any wings!"
"Tigey found a vine and threw it over the other tree!"
- Go, Tigey, Go!
- Go!
Go!
- "Tigey had to walk across "the itty, bitty vine, very carefully."
Whoa!
Whoa!
- Oh, careful!
(laughing) - "Then... Tigey got the puppy "and wiggled down the tree until they were safe on the ground."
- Yahoo!
- Hurray!
- Wow, Jodi!
You're good at telling stories!
- Thanks.
- Jodi makes our school even more fun.
