Hi Friends! Ms. Poach here.
I hope you're having a sunny side up day.
So, I'm wearing my orange zip-up today.
Which Egg do you think will be visiting us?
PEGGY! Yes, you're right, it's Peggy
and today we'll be talking about cooperation.
Let's go see how she's doing. Hi Peggy!
How's your day going? Oh it's going pretty good, Ms.
Poach. I'm eating my daily bowl of
vanilla ice cream and ketchup. Uh, I I see that, yikes um,
doesn't sound too good but I guess if you like it it's okay.
It's so delicious and later my mom and I are going to do some
errands together and then we're going to the playground.
Wow, that sounds like a great afternoon.
It also sounds like you and your mom are cooperating with
each other to get some errands done and then you scheduled in
some time for fun, too. Yes, I can't wait.
Ms. Poach? Yes, Peggy.
Remember when I learned an important lesson in cooperation
when I came to Albumen to visit my cousin, Reggie?
Mmm He and his friends really help me.
Oh, Ms. Poach, can we show our friends
that episode? Please?
it's almost time! Of course, we can Peggy.
It's time for the Good Eggs! It's time for The Good Eggs!
The Good Eggs say, Love, learn, and play Join us today And
together we'll do our part. The Good Eggs say, Reach out
each day So it can stay In every bit of our heart.
In every bit of our heart. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Happy New Year!
The confetti fell as all the Eggs in Albumen rang in the new
year. Reggie was so excited as his
thoughts went to his cousin Peggy, who was arriving
tomorrow. Good night everyone.
We had such a good time. Come on, Reggie.
We need to get ready for your cousin Peggy's visit tomorrow.
Coming, Mom. I am so excited to see Peggy.
I wonder if she still likes vanilla ice cream with ketchup
on it. The next day, Reggie and his mom
stopped at Greggory's house on the way to pick up Peggy at the
airport. Thanks for asking me to go pick
up Peggy. I'm excited to meet her.
Peggy is so much fun. Once when we were really little,
Peggy ate a button because she thought it was a piece of candy.
My aunt had to turn her upside down until it fell out.
She was okay, but she still won't eat candy to this day.
They arrived at the airport and waited at the curb to greet
Peggy. Soon, Reggie spotted her.
There she is! There she is!
Hi, Peggy! Reggie was excited to see her,
but for some reason, Peggy was gloomy.
Hi, Peggy. This is my best friend,
Greggory. Oh, hi.
On the way home, the boys tried to make conversation with Peggy.
Hey, Peggy, do you still like vanilla ice cream with ketchup
on top? I don't know what you're talking
about. The boys exchanged a puzzled
look, and there was silence the rest of the way home.
Later that evening, Reggie and Peggy were getting ready to go
to sleep. Peggy, you don't seem like
yourself. You didn't say one word on the
ride home. I can tell something is
bothering you. I'm sorry, Reggie.
You're right. Something is really bothering
me. My parents aren't getting along.
They thought I should be away from all the arguing, so they
sent me to stay here for a while.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Don't worry, Peggy. Whatever is happening right now
with your parents, we will get through it together.
I'm here for you. Peggy felt a bit of comfort
from her cousin, and they went to sleep.
The next day, the Eggs were in the classroom talking about
what they did over Christmas break.
I went to visit my aunt who lives near a mountain, and we
went sledding. My brother came home from
college and brought me a cool sweatshirt.
Hi, everyone. This is my cousin Peggy.
She will be staying with us for a while.
Hi, Peggy. It's nice to meet you.
Peggy, welcome to our school. You will be a wonderful
addition to our class. Please take a seat next to
Reggie. Everyone seems nice.
I guess I will like it here. Children, it's that time of year
again when we put on our annual school play starring the Albumen
Players. That's you.
Let's vote. There are three choices on the
board. Write your choice on the paper
and put it in the box. Well, it looks like Jack and the
Beanstalk won. Wonderful.
Here are your scripts. Practice your lines tonight and
tomorrow we will have a rehearsal after school.
If we all cooperate just like we did with this vote, it will be
a wonderful production. The next day after class, Ms.
Poach gave instructions about the play.
Children, let's gather in the auditorium for play rehearsal.
I need everyone to cooperate, including set design, actors,
and behind-the-scenes help. I'm so excited.
I get to be Jack. I get to climb the beanstalk.
And I'm working on the set. I love to build things.
That's a wrap for today, kids. Excellent job.
I can see you all cooperated by learning your lines.
I think one more practice tomorrow will do it.
I'll see you then. I'm glad you were working on
set with Greggory. You can help him build the
Beanstalk. Sure, whatever.
The next day, the Eggs were busy rehearsing and working on the
set design. Benedict, let's try this out.
I think it's ready. When I say fe-fi-fo-fum you
start climbing down the beanstalk, ok?
Go up to the rafters so you can climb on.
Okay, Greggory, I got it. Ready?
Fe-fi-fo-fum! Help me.
I'm going to crash! Benedict, are you okay?
Speak to me. I, I think I'm okay.
Nothing's broken. Peggy, remember when I told you
to make sure the hooks were in place for the beanstalk?
They are not fastened. What happened?
I'm so sorry, Greggory. I just have so much on my mind.
Please, everyone. I know why Peggy forgot to
fasten the hooks. She has a lot on her mind.
Her parents aren't getting along and she's really scared.
She feels alone and doesn't know what to do.
Let's go talk to her. I'm so sorry, everyone.
Especially you, Benedict. I'm so relieved you weren't
hurt. I just wish my parents would
get along. I wish they could work things
out. Hey, I have an idea.
Ms. Poach told us how important cooperation is for things to run
smoothly. I'd say so.
Maybe you could talk to your mom and dad and ask them to stop
fighting and try to cooperate. Maybe they'll listen to you.
Whatever way it works out, at least there will be peace.
That's not a bad idea. Do you think they would really
listen to me? Of course, they'll listen to
you. You're the most important
person in their lives. As the Eggs walked home from
play practice, Peggy thought more about what Megg had said.
Megg, I've been thinking about what you said, and you're
right. Even if things don't work out
the way I want them to with my parents, at least with some
cooperation, things will be peaceful.
And we'll always be here to help you, Peggy.
Peggy felt some relief at the thought of her parents
cooperating and knowing that her friends will be there to
support her. Hey, Reggie.
I hope you have some vanilla ice cream at your house with a
full bottle of ketchup. Thanks for watching and thanks
for being a Good Egg! Wow, Peggy I'm so glad you began
to cheer up. Sometimes things can really get
us down especially when we think we can't do anything about it.
Cooperation is a great way to solve any problems or issues you
may come across. It's something you and every
single person can do. I sure found that out.
The Eggs helped you learn the importance of cooperation with
the play and also how to have your family cooperate at home.
It sure does bring peace. I'm proud of you, Peggy.
Thanks, Ms. Poach. I hope our friends can learn it,
too. I'm sure they can.
Hey, I have an idea. You know the story of
cooperation is so important. It takes work and commitment.
How about you? Can you cooperate with your
friends or family today? Maybe take turns watching each
other's favorite TV show or eating at each other's favorite
restaurant. These might seem like small
things but they'll show you how to get along and cooperate
because we we all need to make sure that ourselves and our
families and our friends are happy and working together.
It sure worked for me, Ms.Poach. That's wonderful.
Peggy. You learned a valuable skill
and you will. too! THANKS, MS.
POACH! I had my headphones this time.
Ms. Poach? Yeah?
Will you take a picture of my ice cream and send it to
Reggie? He thinks it's so funny!
Sure I'll do that - hold on. Rhere I sent it.
I'm sure he'll crack up! Oh, Ms. Poach?
Yeah? You want to try some?
Uh, no, that's okay Peggy. I usually only eat my ketchup
with my french fries. You go ahead and finish your
ice cream though, ok? I'll see you next time!
Thanks for watching and thanks for being a Good Egg!
Bye!
