ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 Broken Tree-tys / Hoop Dance Off [FULL EPISODE] Episode 9 – Spirit Rangers
Welcome to the magical world of Xus Park, where the Spirit Rangers live! They are brave and fun friends who protect the park and its creatures. Let’s meet them: Kodi, Summer Hawk, Eddy Turtle, and their pals Coyote and Lizard. They have exciting adventures and learn important lessons along the way.
One day, the Spirit Rangers were playing hide-and-seek. Summer was counting, and Eddy was trying hard not to dance to the music. But suddenly, they heard beeping sounds. It wasn’t music; it was bulldozers! They were about to build something in the park.
The bulldozers were there to build a cell phone tower, but it was right where the Spirit Rangers’ treehouse stood. Oh no! They needed to find a special paper called a contract that promised the park would stay safe. Contracts are like promises that people must keep.
The Spirit Rangers went to find the contract in Mom’s office, but it was a mess! Condor, a bird spirit, had made a nest there because a woodpecker was bothering him. The woodpecker had broken a promise not to peck Condor’s tree.
The Spirit Rangers helped Condor by reminding the woodpecker about their promise, called a tree-ty. They made a new tree-ty belt to help the woodpecker remember. Promises are important because they help everyone get along.
After helping Condor, the Spirit Rangers found the contract behind a filing cabinet. They rushed to show it to the bulldozer crew just in time. The crew agreed to keep their promise and not build in the park.
Later, the Spirit Rangers wanted to learn hoop dancing for a show. Hoop dancing is inspired by nature and animals. They practiced moves like the snake and the flower, and finally, the eagle move. It was hard, but they didn’t give up!
Summer learned that to master the eagle move, she had to practice the basics first. With patience and help from her friends, she finally did it! The Spirit Rangers learned that practice and keeping promises are important for success and friendship.
Now you know about the Spirit Rangers and their adventures. Remember, keeping promises and practicing new skills can help you achieve anything. Let’s all be like the Spirit Rangers and take care of our world!
Promise Keeper Craft: Create a “Promise Keeper” bracelet using colorful beads and string. Each bead can represent a promise you want to keep, like helping a friend or cleaning up your toys. Wear your bracelet to remind you of your promises, just like the Spirit Rangers reminded the woodpecker of the tree-ty. Discuss with a family member or friend why keeping promises is important.
Nature Observation Walk: Take a walk in a nearby park or garden with an adult. Look for animals and plants that remind you of the Spirit Rangers’ adventures. Can you find something that looks like a hoop for hoop dancing? Or maybe a tree that could be a home for a bird like Condor? Draw or write about what you see and share your findings with your class.
Practice Makes Perfect Game: Choose a new skill you want to learn, like a simple dance move or a drawing technique. Practice it every day for a week. Keep a practice journal to note what you did each day and how you improved. At the end of the week, share your progress with your family or friends, just like Summer learned to master the eagle move with practice.

[Kodi] Broken Tree-tys.
[Summer] Three hawk feathers, two hawk feathers, one hawk feather… Ready or not, here I come!
[Eddy] Shh. Psst. Hold still. Can’t resist music. Must dance.
[beeping]
[Coyote beatboxes] Found you. I win! Aw, what gave us away?
-It might have been the dance party. Woo! Come on, let’s do this!
♪ Lizard dance-bot can’t be stopped ♪
♪ Robot dance mode activate ♪
[beeping continues]
-I wouldn’t celebrate yet. Those beeps aren’t music. They’re bulldozers!
Let me at ’em! Don’t worry, DeeDee. I got this.
What they’re trying to say is our park isn’t scheduled for construction.
Listen, my trusty paperwork says the new cell phone tower is supposed to be built right here.
-No!
-What?!
[Eddy] Not our treehouse!
[gasps] Oh, crickets! What’s a cell phone tower?
Don’t worry. Our park has a contract saying the head ranger is in charge of what’s built at Xus National Park.
A contract? What’s that?
Contract, treaty, agreement. They’re fancy ways of saying you’ll keep your promise.
No matter how old the promise is, it’s important to keep it.
Like when I promised Mom I wouldn’t buy a fifth drone, even though I really wanted to.
If I just find that contract, it’ll clear this all up.
We can help find it.
I just found Kodi, Eddy, Lizard, and Coyote playing hide-and-seek.
All right, kiddos. It’s in my office in a nice, big frame. Will you bring it?
-We’re in!
-Eddy’s ready!
You better get it fast ’cause my crew ain’t got all day.
[Summer] This will be easy. Mom’s office is always so… clean?
-[Eddy] Whoa.
-[Summer] This is a bird-tastrophe.
Haku, Spirit Rangers.
-[Kodi] Condor?
-Like what I’ve done with the place?
I don’t think Mom will.
You’re right. She’ll want some more drama. Glamour. Pizzazz.
Ooh, good idea, Almiyi. Pizzazz time!
No more pizzazz. We have to find an important contract.
I don’t know what that is, but if it’s important, can it go in my nest?
No, it’s for Mom. And we need it to save our treehouse.
Why are you nesting here anyway?
Oh, it’s Maqutikok’, the woodpecker spirit.
All he does is loudly peck, peck, peck my beautiful tree.
How am I supposed to get my beauty sleep?
It takes a lot of sleep to look this good.
Did you ask him to stop?
I tried. Long ago, Woodpecker promised me he wouldn’t peck my tree.
We even made a tree-ty belt together to make it official.
But today, it was peck, peck, peck! He was driving me crazy, so I left.
Hm, maybe if you show Woodpecker your tree-ty belt, he’ll remember his promise.
If we can help you get your tree back, then we can find Mom’s contract in this mess.
What do you say, Condor?
Well, I do miss my real nest. Come on. Let’s save the park and Condor’s nest.

Ah, home squawk home.
-[Kodi] Ew!
-[Eddy] Eurgh! Slimy worm!
Yeah! [laughs]
Is it my birthday?
Hey! Those are my worms. I pecked them square and fair!
[slurps] Why is he wearing a funny scarf?
That’s not a scarf. That tree-ty belt signifies how important our promises are.
Woodpecker, did you make a tree-ty with Condor?
Yeah, and what of it?
Well, like his promise, that belt is broken.
They look hard to make with all the little beads and shells.
They sure are. I remember making the first one like it was yesterday.
That wasn’t you. The Haudenosaunee made them first.
That’s how we got the idea for the park, remember?
Oh, yeah. The Six Nations. So stylish.
Oh, I don’t care how stylish it is. And that tree-ty is so old.
It doesn’t mean anything.
It does too, Maqutikok’. And you can’t just use our belt as a bib.
Why don’t you two talk things over while we work on making you a new belt?
[hopeful music plays]
Phew! These are hard to make. But we did it.
This new belt will fix everything.
Ready to keep your promise?
Fine, fine. If it’ll stop your squawking, you can have your tree back for now.
Thank you, Spirit Rangers.
It’s gonna take some work to fix these woodpecker holes, but I have an eye for elegant decor.
It’ll be spruced up in no time.
Speaking of work, we still have to find Mom’s contract.
Come on, Rangers. Let’s move.
Hey, kids. Watch out for that nest.
I think Mom left her window open again. [laughs]
Our park birds will get into anything.
Have you noticed more birds than usual around the park lately?
[chuckles nervously] A bird? In here? No.
-That would be ridiculous.
-Yeah. [gasps]
-Bald Eagle!
-Everything okay, squirt?
Just saw a bald eagle outside. It was flying away with a big piece of paper in a nice frame.
Yeah, Dad. I saw it too.
A framed piece of paper? That has to be the contract.
Come back, eagle. I’ve got seeds!
-Phew!
-Phew! That was close.
Hoot. Sorry for startling you, Eddy. I’m not trying to be scary. Honest.
Nothing is as scary as Woodpecker these days.
He’s taking over the whole forest.
All day, it’s peck, peck, peck.
Broken tree-tys, birds getting kicked out of their homes.
Can today get any worse?
Haku! I’m home.
Condor, your home is in the spirit forest, not the station.
Not anymore. Maqutikok’ has broken all his tree-tys, new and old.
It’s bird madness out there.
It’s bird madness in here!
We’ll never find the contract if we don’t stop Woodpecker.
It’s up to us to make him honor them.
Let’s go.
[whimpering]
-Oh, no! Someone’s in trouble.
-[Coyote] Put your back into it!
-[straining] Come on, you got this. Let’s go.
-Why did I eat so many worms?
[burps] Okay, Woodpecker, you’ve had your fun, but it’s time to keep your promises and repair all these tree-ty belts.
I’m too full to keep my promise.
How would you feel if someone broke their promise with you?
I’d feel fine, I’m sure.
Promises are made to be broken.
They’re not really forever.
Wait a second. If Woodpecker’s part of the tree-ty was that he wouldn’t peck your tree, what was Condor’s part of the tree-ty?
Hm, if I remember correctly, I promised I wouldn’t eat Woodpecker.
Huh?!
But if we can just break our promises all willy-nilly, then I guess that means I can eat Woodpecker.
Mm. On second thought, maybe keeping promises is important.
[chuckles] It’s only fair.
[Summer] ♪ We wanna get along
To keep things chummy ♪
♪ Don’t break your promises
That’s really crummy ♪
♪ A bird who keeps his word
Won’t ever end up
In someone else’s tummy ♪
♪ So you
[all] ♪ Keep your promises ♪
[ Eddy] ♪ You swore that you’d stay true
Your agreement says
You’ll see your tree-ty through ♪
♪ You want your friends
To keep their promise too, so…
♪ Keep your promises
Keep your promises
♪ Your friends all share these trees
So it’s worth checking
♪ If all the noise you make
Is friendship-wrecking
♪ You could explore these woods
‘Cause there are many other trees
To do your pecking
♪ Yes, you keep your promises
♪ Make sure your word is strong
♪ Trusting others is
The way we get along
♪ If tree-tys fall apart
It all goes wrong, so…
♪ Keep your promises
Keep your promises
The new tree-ty belt is perfect.
I’ll consider it a housewarming gift.
Spirit Rangers, thank you for teaching me the importance of tree-tys.
And, birds, thank you for helping me keep my promises.
We can’t live together if we don’t respect each other like good, feathered neighbors.
I’ll hoot to that.
Yeah! Spirit Rangers!
Anytime, fellow birds.
Yeah. We’ve got your back.
Now we’ve just gotta find Mom’s contract before it’s too late.
I can’t believe it’s so hard to find a big piece of paper in a frame.
Oh, a big piece of paper in a frame?
I put it behind that strange square tree stump.
You mean Mom’s filing cabinet?
If you say so. I had to move it.
I just couldn’t focus with my handsome reflection looking at me all the time.
That has to be it. We’d better hurry.
If you give us a few more minutes, I’m sure my junior rangers will find the contract.
We’re running out of daylight, and I gotta bulldoze, lady.
-[Summer] Stop those bulldozers!
-[Eddy] Wait! We’ve got the contract!
Here you go. A framed promise. I mean, contract.
Hm. According to this contract, my company made a promise not to touch any land in this park without your say, and I’m keeping that promise.
We’ll find someplace else to build our tower.
Hey, youse guys, power down the dozers.
We’re not tearing down anything today.
-All right!
-Hooray!
-[DeeDee] And stay out.
-Phew! That was close.
I can’t thank you kids enough for finding the contract.
Thanks, Mom. We made a promise, and it’s important to keep it.
Whoa!
[uplifting music crescendos]
[Summer] Hoop Dance Off.
Testing, testing, one, two, three
It’s your favorite rapping dad
Spelled D-A-D
[Mom] You’ve still got it, honey.
-[Dad beatboxes]
-Go, Dad!
Encore!
-I love it.
But not as much as my special hoops.
I thought we were hosting a dance show, not a hula-hoop show.
We are. It’s a hoop dance show.
If hoop dancing is anything like hula-hooping, I’ll be a pro.
[groans] If you want to be a pro, you’ll have to practice.
Just like the great Tulalip hoop dancer, Terry Goedel.
[grunts]
-Awesome!
-So cool.
[chuckles] I may be an elder, but I’ve still got the moves.
This is the eagle. See my wings?
Wow, DeeDee! That was amazing.
I’ve never seen an eagle dance move before.
I need to learn to do that.
[grunts] Ooh! I’m okay.
I could really use more dancers for the show tonight. Will you help me?
-Let’s hoop dance!
-Eddy’s ready!
-Oops!
-[Kodi] Oh, no!
-[both groan]
-Eddy’s not ready.
[Summer laughs]
Hoop dance moves are inspired by nature, animals.
Animals? You mean like bears?
Or turtles? Tell me there are turtles.
Get to the eagle already. Please.
To master the eagle, you have to learn other moves first.
Like the snake.
Or the flower.
-Cool!
-Those moves are great for beginners.
-Beginners?
-So cool.
-Awesome.
[grunts]
[groans] This is harder than it looks.
[groans] I think I’m stuck.
And by “think,” I mean I am stuck.
You have to practice.
I’m gonna… master that eagle move.
Whoa!
[Summer] I meant that.
If you really wanna learn the eagle move, then you gotta start small, with an eagle’s nest.
[sneezing]
[Lizard sighs] Did that box just sneeze?
-Oh, it was probably just the wind.
-And whatever it was, it went that way.
Uh, I… I better check, just in case.
We don’t want any critters near the cables.
I can’t miss my favorite show tonight, America’s Next Top Monster Truck.
Oh, I sure hope Smashzilla wins.
Uh, keep practicing. I’ll be right back.
Are you learning how to hoop dance?
I’m a huge fan.
My favorite dancer is the great Nakotah LaRance.
Tony White Cloud is my favorite.
He was almost as good as me.
You did better than us.
And we gotta practice before the big show.
You just need a good teacher, which is definitely not me.
What about the animals in Spirit Park?
They know how to put that special sauce on their own moves.
Coyote, normally I would never say this, but that’s a really great idea.
I’m full of good ideas.
Wait a second. That means I can ask Eagle to teach me the eagle move.
What are we waiting for? Let’s go.
DeeDee will be so surprised when she sees how good we are.

You’re going to learn how to hoop dance from some of the grooviest animals in Spirit Park.
I expect you to knock every human sock off their smelly human feet.
Human feet are so weird.
Way too many toes.
Oh, right. Spirits, assemble.
Flower Spirit growing up.
Snake Spirit is super excited.
Wait a second. Where’s–
Eagle Dancer! I’m your biggest fan.
What’s up, little hawk?
I can already tell that you’re all very talon-ted. [chuckles]
-That’s a bird joke.
-And a dad joke.
You better believe it.
-[Eagle Dancer beatboxes]
-[kids giggle]
Save it for the talent show, Feathers.
Flower, you’re up first.
Aw, man. What about Eagle?
When you’ve mastered the other moves, then you’re ready for my move. Ta-ta.
But I wanted to learn the eagle move.
Let’s get blooming.
The flower move is all in the roots.
[Eddy strains] Oh, turtle toes.
I’m never gonna get this move.
It’s okay, Eddy. We just need to practice.
Right, Summer?
-Summer?
-[Summer] Please. Come on.
Will you show me the eagle move now?
Not until you’re ready, little hawk buddy.
Come on! It’s time for our next move.
-Hey!
-We’ll learn from Eagle later.
The snake move involves great concentration.
Be the snake. Be the snake.
Hey, watch the fur!
I wasn’t the snake.
Eagle, I’m ready for your move.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Now that you’ve learned the basics from Snake and Flower, I can teach you my eagle move.
Out of the way! Fellow heroic bird coming through.
My move doesn’t just take the grace of the flower and the smoothness of the snake.
You also have to tell the story of an eagle’s life.
From nest to eaglet… to full-grown eagle.
That looks really hard.
Use what you’ve learned from Snake and Flower.
You can do this.
I did it? I did it!
We’re just like eagles. Ca-caw!
That’s eggs-actly it.
That’s another bird joke. I’m full of them.
Step aside and learn from the master.
[groans]
It’s okay. I-I just need one more try.
Don’t forget to start with the nest.
Come on, hoops. Work with me!
I should be able to just do the eagle move.
I’m a heroic bird too.
Okay, let’s take a break and rest our wings.
[Summer sighs]
If Eagle can’t teach me the eagle move, then no one can.
