Hello, friends! Welcome to our happy classroom. Today is a special day, and we have lots of fun things to do! Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Granny Franny has a fun story for us about Kate the ape. Kate loves to race and always wins! But one day, she met Nate the snake, and guess what? She didn’t win! Kate was sad, but then she found a superhero cape. She shared it with Nate, and they both became super racers! Isn’t sharing fun?
When we move, we can go fast or slow. This is called “pace.” Sometimes we walk slowly, like when we’re looking at pretty flowers. Other times, we run fast, like when we’re playing tag! Both are fun and good for us!
It’s time for music with Mr. Dan! Today, we’re learning a song called “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” Let’s clap along to the rhythm! Ready? Clap, clap, clap! Great job! Music is so much fun!
Now, it’s time for a story called “The Tortoise and the Hare.” The hare is very fast, and the tortoise is slow. They decided to race. The hare ran fast but stopped to nap. The tortoise kept going slowly and won the race! The lesson is: slow and steady wins the race!
Miss Melissa is here to talk about exercise. She teaches something called Pilates, which is like yoga. Exercise makes us strong and healthy. Let’s move our bodies and have fun!
It’s time to dance! When I say “play,” dance! When I say “pause,” freeze! Ready? Play! Pause! Fast forward! Rewind! Wow, you’re great dancers!
Let’s go on a musical field trip to the Appalachian Trail! It’s a long path where people hike and see nature. There are big mountains and lots of animals. Would you like to visit? It’s a wonderful place!
We had so much fun today! We learned about pace, read stories, danced, and went on a musical trip. Remember, whether you move fast or slow, it’s all good for you. Keep learning and having fun!
That’s all for today, friends! We’ll be back soon with more fun and learning. Until then, keep playing, exploring, and smiling. Bye-bye!

Race and Share: Let’s have a fun race just like Kate the ape and Nate the snake! Find a friend or family member to race with. You can race by running, hopping, or even crawling. After the race, talk about how it felt to go fast or slow. Then, think of something you can share with your racing partner, like a toy or a snack. How does sharing make you feel?
Pace Observation Walk: Go for a walk with a grown-up and observe the different paces around you. Can you see someone walking slowly, like the tortoise? Or maybe someone running fast, like the hare? Try walking slowly and then quickly. Which do you like better? Why do you think it’s important to sometimes go slow and sometimes go fast?
Music and Movement Exploration: Play a song you love and try moving to the music. Can you move fast when the music is fast and slow when the music is slow? Ask a grown-up to pause the music at different times. Can you freeze like a statue when the music stops? How does changing your pace with the music make you feel?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi everybody! Welcome to the ABC Mouse classroom. The class is just about to start, so let’s go! [Music] Welcome back! I’m so glad to see you on this fabulous Friday. Yes, it’s already Friday! Are you excited for today? Yes, I am too! We have so much to do. Miracle is going to read us a book, we have a music lesson with Mr. Dan, we’re going to interview an exercise instructor, and we’re going on a musical field trip with ABC 123 and D. Of course, Miss Mel is here too!
When we move, we can move fast or slow. One word for how fast we move is “pace.” Here are some examples: Sometimes I talk in a slow pace like this: “Hello, my name is Miss Lauren.” This usually happens when I’m explaining something and I want to make sure that I’m understood. Other times, I talk in a fast pace like this: “Hello, my name is Miss Lauren.” This usually happens when I’m really excited!
Speaking of exciting, up next, Granny Franny is here to tell a little story about someone who gets really excited about racing—Kate the ape. Let me tell you a story about Kate the ape. Once upon a time, there was an ape named Kate. Kate loved to race and always won first place. One day, Kate met a snake named Nate who wanted to race. Kate ran as fast as she could, but for the first time in her life, she lost a race. Kate was sad. Just then, she saw something right in front of her face—it was a cape! Kate was sure it must be a superhero cape, so she ran back to Nate and asked him to have another race. This time, Kate won! She was filled with joy, but now Nate was sad, and Kate didn’t like to see her new friend so sad. Then Kate had an idea: she made two capes and gave one to Nate. Now they would both be super racers!
So, what did you think of the story? I’m terrific Tammy, and I’m the fastest! No way, I’m daring Danny, and I’m the fastest! Come on, no you’re not! I’m terrific Tammy! You’ve got to go faster than that! Granny Franny’s grandkids are lucky she tells such imaginative stories. Kate the ape liked to race, and she found that sharing her cape with a friend made racing even better. That Granny Franny sure is clever! Her story even got her grandkids to go outside and play. Have you ever raced around with a cape like the kids or Kate the ape? Yes? That’s fantastic! If you haven’t, you should try it—it’s a lot of fun!
As you know, I also like to spend time outside. I love to go on long walks with Pickles. Sometimes we meet my sister at her apartment building and walk together around her community. We stop to chat and wave hi to some of her neighbors or let Pickles sniff around. Of course, whether you’re practicing for a marathon or going on a nice slow walk around your neighborhood, these are all great ways to exercise. You know, whenever I go on a slow-paced walk with my sister and Pickles, or after I go on a fast-paced run, I’m always in a good mood. Now I know why pace is also important in music. The rhythm can be fast-paced or slow-paced.
Now it’s time for Mr. Dan, who has a new music lesson for us. Hi everyone, it’s Mr. Dan, and it’s time for music! I think you’ve done an excellent job this week with steady beat and rhythm. Today, I’d like us to learn the rhythm of a song. Since we’ve had so much fun with it, why don’t we use “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”? Now let’s sing the song together, but this time I want you to clap every time you sing. Follow me if you need help. 1, 2, here we go: Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes! Great job! You just clapped the rhythm for the singing of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” I’ve had so much fun with you this week. I hope you have a great rest of your week, and I can’t wait to see you next time! Goodbye!
Thank you for another great music lesson, Mr. Dan! We’ve been talking a lot about pace today. What kind of pace do you think is best when you’re running a race? If it’s a short race, it’s probably better to run faster, but in longer races, runners might slow down so they don’t get tired too soon and can’t finish.
For today’s Story Time, Miracle and Nano are here to read a book called “The Tortoise and the Hare.” These two animals are going to race each other. Who do you think will win? Well, let’s find out! When you come back, Miss Mel will talk to you about the story. I’ll see you later with your playlist. [Music] Enjoy!
Hi, I’m Miracle, and welcome to Story Time! This is our special time to share a story together. We are going to share the story from this book, “The Tortoise and the Hare.” Now get your ears ready to listen, your eyes ready to look, and your brain ready to wonder. Ready? Let’s read!
One day, a hare, a kind of rabbit, was bragging about how fast he could run and laughing at a tortoise, a kind of turtle, for being so slow. Much to the hare’s surprise, the tortoise challenged him to a race. The hare accepted the challenge. They asked their friend the fox to judge the race. The race began, and of course, the hare was soon far ahead of the tortoise. Soon the hare reached the halfway point in the race. Because it was a beautiful sunny day, the hare decided to stop running and play for a while. He then took a nap in a shady spot, thinking, “Even if the tortoise passes me while I sleep, I can easily catch up and reach the finish line first.”
Meanwhile, the tortoise kept walking along slowly and steadily toward the finish line. He couldn’t run nearly as fast as the hare, but he never stopped to rest or play. While the tortoise continued on, the hare lost track of time and slept longer than he had intended. When the hare woke up, he was surprised that the tortoise was nowhere in sight. The hare jumped up and ran off at full speed. But when the hare reached the finish line, he found that the tortoise was already there waiting for him. Although the tortoise was much slower than the hare, because he did not stop to rest, he won the race. The end! The moral of the story is: slow and steady wins the race. So the lesson is, if we keep working hard, slow and steady like the tortoise, we can win at anything!
Please join me for the next Story Time when it’s time to share a story again. Bye-bye! Did you enjoy reading with Miracle and Nano? Yes? I’m glad to see that a lot of you enjoyed it! We’ll see more of them during the next Story Time.
Besides Story Time, I also really love it when we ask an expert. Miss Melissa, thanks for meeting with me to answer questions on how to be an exercise teacher. I’m happy to do it! My first question is, what kind of exercise do you teach? I am a Pilates teacher. Oh wow! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before, but it sounds super cool! Have you ever heard of yoga? It’s similar to that. You can do it on a mat, and it is a form of exercise. What is your favorite thing about teaching? I would say my favorite part of the job is watching people get stronger and be able to take that strength into their everyday lives. Watching people’s bodies change and seeing them make connections between all the different exercises and pieces of equipment that we use.
We’re talking a lot about healthy habits this week. What are some of your healthy habits? I’m always taking classes and lessons from other teachers, whom we call mentors, and they help me be the best teacher that I can be for my clients because we’re never done learning, even as adults. That’s really good advice! Thanks for talking with me today. Bye!
Since we’re already talking about exercise, why don’t we go ahead and get some exercise ourselves? Make sure you have plenty of room to move around because ABC Mouse is here for our movement break of the day! Here we go! Hi! Come on, stand up! It’s time to move! Let’s go and do the remote control dance. When I say “play,” dance. When I say “pause,” freeze. When I say “fast forward,” dance as fast as you can. And when I say “rewind,” dance backward. Okay, ready? Play! Pause! Play! Rewind! Pause! Play! Rewind! Play! Fast forward! Play! Rewind! Fast forward! Play! Wow, you sure know how to move it! See you next time! Bye!
Hi! Welcome back! Right now, I’m imagining myself on a long walk through nature, which is called a hike. There is a special trail that many people like to hike—it’s called the Appalachian Trail, and it’s the longest hiking trail in the United States. It goes through 14 states. Would you want to visit the Appalachian Trail? Yes? Well, today’s your lucky day because that’s where we’re going for our musical field trip! ABC 123 and D will help you learn more about this beautiful trail.
We wanted to find big mountains that we could explore, somewhere in the wilderness with animals and more. We wanted to see nature and hike over hill and dale. Our search led us to the great Appalachian Trail! Whether you walk the trail all at once or walk it in short hikes, on the Appalachian Trail, there’s nothing not to like! The Appalachian Trail winds through 14 different states, from Georgia in the South up north to Maine, and they’re all great! Our nation’s longest trail is almost 2,200 miles. The trail is a walking path that gives miles of smiles! Whether you walk the trail all at once or walk it in short hikes, on the Appalachian Trail, there’s nothing not to like!
The Appalachian Mountains are an old mountain chain. They used to be taller but were worn down by wind and rain. The Black Mountains, Blue Ridge Mountains, and White Mountains are all a part of this mountain chain. Just to name a few! Whether you walk the trail all at once or walk it in short hikes, on the Appalachian Trail, there’s nothing not to like! [Music]
Welcome back! How did you enjoy your musical field trip with ABC 123? That song really inspired me! I think I’ll go on a hike around my neighborhood after class today. Okay, now Miss Lauren is here to help wrap up the week. Thanks, Miss Mel! We did a lot today, didn’t we? Today we talked about pace—how fast or slow something happens. Fast-paced exercises are good for your body, but you usually can’t do them for too long. Slow-paced exercises are also good for your body, and you can usually last a lot longer. You read a story with Miracle and Nano that proved going fast doesn’t always mean finishing first, and of course, you had your musical field trip to the Appalachian Trail.
Well, it’s hard to believe we’re already at the end of our week! But don’t worry, because we’ll both be back on Monday to start an entirely new week with all of you! Are you excited? Yes? Okay! Your activities are ready to go so you can learn even more. When you’re all done, be sure to take some time to jog, run, dance, jump rope—whatever you like to do! We’ll see you next time right here in the ABC Mouse classroom, and remember: the more you learn, the more you’ll love learning!
