Welcome to a fun story about Abby Cadabby’s first day at a special school called Storybook Community School. This is a magical place where storybook characters come to learn. Let’s find out about Abby’s exciting day, making new friends, and learning lots of new things!
The story starts with Elmo and Luis talking about a broken windmill that belongs to Dorothy. They need to fix it, and this teaches us about working together and solving problems. Elmo is also very excited because it’s Abby’s first day at school!
Abby Cadabby arrives with lots of energy and excitement. She can’t wait to start school at Storybook Community School. Abby is curious and ready to learn everything, just like many kids feel when they start school.
Before Abby leaves for school, Baby Bear offers to walk with her. They decide to walk instead of using magic, showing us how nice it is to have friends to walk with and share the journey.
When Abby gets to school, Mother Goose welcomes her. The class sings a “Welcome Song” to make Abby feel happy and included. It’s important for new students to feel welcomed and part of the group.
The classroom is full of storybook characters like Jack and Jill and Peter Piper. Each character is special and different, just like how every child in a classroom has their own unique story.
Mother Goose introduces Show and Tell, where students share something special from home. Mary brings her Little Lamb, who makes animal sounds, and everyone loves it! Show and Tell helps kids learn to talk and share with others.
Abby feels worried because she doesn’t know what to bring for Show and Tell. Baby Bear helps her think of using her wand, showing how friends can help us when we’re unsure.
Abby decides to bring Elmo to school for Show and Tell. This shows how important friends are and how they make school more fun and exciting.
The story ends with Elmo being welcomed into the classroom. Everyone sings the welcome song again, showing how nice it is to have friends and be part of a community. Abby’s day teaches us about the joy of starting school, making friends, and sharing fun experiences. Storybook Community School reminds us that learning is about making connections and having fun together!
Friendship Bracelet Craft: Gather some colorful beads and string to make friendship bracelets. As you make the bracelets, think about the friends you have and what makes them special. Once you finish, give the bracelet to a friend or family member and tell them why they are important to you. This activity helps you understand the value of friendship, just like Abby and her friends at Storybook School.
Show and Tell at Home: Choose a special item from your home that you would like to share with your family. Practice talking about why it is special to you and what story it tells. Then, gather your family and have your own Show and Tell session. This will help you practice speaking and sharing, just like the characters in the story.
Problem-Solving Adventure: Create a simple obstacle course at home or in the backyard using pillows, chairs, or other safe objects. Invite a friend or family member to complete the course with you. Work together to figure out the best way to navigate the obstacles. This activity will help you learn about teamwork and problem-solving, just like Elmo and Luis fixing the windmill.
