Hey there! Are you ready for a fun adventure? Let’s join Boomer and his friends as they explore and have a great time together!
Boomer was trying to remember how to get back home. He remembered stepping on something pointy that hurt his feet. Ouch! It was little stones. Then, he bounced on something fuzzy and smooth. Can you guess what it was? It was moss! So soft and bouncy!
Next, Boomer remembered something bumpy. It was a log! With all these clues, Boomer and his friends found their way back to the tree and the swing. Hooray!
Boomer and his friends decided to have a parade. Boomer was the leader, and everyone followed him. They marched and marched, but sometimes they went too fast. So, they decided to march slower. Slow and steady wins the race!
Crystal was a bit worried about jumping because she didn’t want to get wet. But Boomer showed her how to jump up and down. Boom! Crystal tried it and got a little wet, but she was happy to practice her jumping. Yay, Crystal!
Boomer made a big, round snowball. It was the best snowball ever! He didn’t want to throw it because it was so special. But then, Boomer noticed the snowball was getting smaller. Oh no! His warm paws were melting it!
Scout had a great idea. They could give the snowball to Melody, who would keep it safe and frozen. No more melting! Thanks, Melody!
After all the fun, Boomer and his friends decided to look for a book. They sang a little song while searching: “Books, books, looking for books, looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there? Looking for books to share.”
What a wonderful day Boomer and his friends had! They learned about remembering things, marching, jumping, and taking care of special snowballs. And they had lots of fun together!
Thanks for joining the adventure! What was your favorite part?
Memory Path Adventure: Create your own memory path at home or in the classroom! Gather different textured items like a small stone, a piece of fabric, a stick, and a soft sponge. Place them in a line and take turns walking along the path with your eyes closed. Can you remember the order of the items by feeling them with your feet? Share your path with a friend and see if they can guess the order too!
Parade Practice: Organize a mini parade with your friends or family. Choose a leader and follow them around the room or playground. Try marching at different speeds: fast, slow, and medium. Which speed do you like best? Can you think of other ways to move, like hopping or tiptoeing? Talk about how it feels to move in different ways.
Snowball Science: Make your own pretend snowballs using playdough or crumpled paper. Place one in a sunny spot and one in a shady spot. Check on them after a while. What happens to each snowball? Talk about why you think the snowball in the sun changes. How can you keep your pretend snowball from changing? Share your ideas with a friend!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary details and maintaining the essence of the conversation:

[Music]
Boomer, do you remember anything about which way you came?
Hmm… I remember I ran over something very pointy. It hurt my feet.
Okay, let’s find something pointy.
Ouch! They’re little stones, and they definitely feel pointy.
Yep, that’s them. And before that, I bounced on something.
Yes, and it was sort of fuzzy and smooth.
Okay, let’s keep looking.
It’s moss, and it’s fuzzy and bouncy. We’re getting close.
Boomer, did you run over anything else?
Yes, something very bumpy.
Oh shoot! Ouch!
Let’s go.
[Music]
This log is definitely bumpy. This is it!
[Music]
I see the tree and the swing!
[Music]
You did it, Boomer! You remembered how things feel, and we found our way back.
The wind on my face feels tickly.
Yep, that’s just how it feels—tickly.
Go, go, go!
[Music]
This is fun! It’s just like we’re in a parade.
Yeah, and I’m the leader! Everyone in alignment, follow me!
I’ll bang my trunk—boom, boom, boom, boom!
Please, away, Boomer! Let’s go.
[Music]
I’ll find them, Scout! I’m coming!
I couldn’t keep up.
Oops, sorry about that, Scout. I must have been marching too fast.
That’s okay, Boomer. You did march fast, but so did I.
I never marched that fast before.
That’s true, and now you caught up.
Everybody ready for the parade again?
Maybe we can march slower?
I guess.
Yeah, okay. Ready? Slow and steady!
Let’s go!
[Music]
Come on, Crystal!
Oh, but I don’t like getting wet.
You won’t get wet, just jump!
It’s just… I’m not a good jumper.
Sure you are! It’s easy. First, you go up, and then you go down.
Boom!
Okay, but I better not get my feet wet.
Are you okay? Let me help you.
Thanks, Boomer, I’m okay.
I’m glad I got to practice my jumping, even though I did get a bit wet. Now come on, let’s not stop the parade!
Okay, if you say so.
Everybody ready to march?
Wait! Instead of marching, our parade could have dancing!
Sorry, Boomer, I almost hit you with my snowball.
That’s okay! I was busy making the best snowball ever.
Wow, very big and very round!
Yes, it is!
Boomer, throw it to me!
I don’t know. What if you drop it? Then we can make a new one.
Um, no! This snowball is too special. I’m going to keep it forever and ever.
If you don’t want to throw snowballs, how about we look for a book?
That’s a great idea! Let’s go!
Oh, box, where are you?
What an amazing snowball—so big and round and smooth!
Huh, my paws are all wet and so cold.
Hey, my snowball looks a little smaller.
Look!
You’re right, I think it is a tiny bit smaller.
Yep, but just a teensy weensy bit smaller.
Maybe I could hold it for a while so you can warm up your paws.
Please be careful! It’s the best snowball ever, and I don’t want anything to happen to it.
Don’t worry about your snowball, Boomer. I’ll be careful. Come on, let’s find your book. Maybe we’ll find a swirly snowflake book!
[Music]
Books, books, looking for books, looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there? Looking for books to share.
[Music]
Hmm… oh no! The snowball is shrinking.
Hmm… the snowball is definitely getting smaller. What if my snowball gets so small that it disappears?
Ah, maybe your warm paws are melting it.
That’s why your paws are getting wet and why the snowball is getting smaller.
Poor snowball! I didn’t mean to melt it. I don’t want my snowball to melt, but if we carry it in our paws, there’ll be nothing left of it.
Oh! I can carry it in a way that won’t melt it!
Really, Scout? Quick, give the snowball to Melody!
Great idea!
No warm paws means the snowball will stay frozen!
Twirly whirly!
Phew! Thanks for saving my snowball!
[Music]
