Parent's Guide

Kids tease Rosita for her pronunciation. She tries to use a British accent with help from Henry Piggins. She stops talking when she feels frustrated. Miles and Gabi track her down. They say her accent comes from the street music scene. They celebrate the different voices of the community. Accents are a reflection of a person's history and heritage. You should explain that an accent usually means a person speaks more than one language. This episode teaches your child to value unique traits. Everyone has their own rhythm, and that's what makes the group so harmonious.

Big Bird searches for Ernie in a world of floating shapes. Telly Monster joins them to show his love for triangles. You should use your home as a geometry classroom. Hey, why don't you ask your kid to spot some triangles or circles around the house? It's a good idea to associate shapes with characters so preschoolers can remember them better.

Norah Jones and Elmo sing a song about the letter Y. They show words like yellow and yodel. You should have a yellow day at home to practice phonics. Wear yellow clothes. See how many Y words you can find with your child. This makes a lesson into a day-long theme.

Professor Grover has a hard time remembering that libro means book. Rosita teaches the kids that "palomas" means pigeons. This episode shows how to bridge language gaps through context. It's a good idea to label household items in two languages. Say "libro" when your child sees a book. This helps you build a working vocabulary that feels natural. It's more than just a regular lesson.

There are seven dancing chickens, which is the number for today. You should count snacks during mealtime. Have your child count seven crackers or grapes. This practice helps you build one-to-one correspondence.

Global Grover just got back from Mexico with some clay. Grover makes a potato sculpture. His burro creates a masterpiece. This lesson is all about artistic perspective. It shows that creativity can come from anyone. You should encourage your child to play with clay without worrying about getting it perfect. Focus on the process of creation. Everyone has a different artistic voice. The joy is in the making of the art.

Summary

My Favorite Moments: The Episode begins with Ruben Studdard. He says he loves Rubber Duckie when he was a little boy.

Scenes: Rosita and Big Bird talks about how Rosita will say the alphabet with the Birdketeers. When they talk about this, two children comes to ask the direction of park. Rosita answers and says they should find the pigeon statue, but when she says pigeon, they laugh due to her unusual pronounce of pigeon. Rosita feels upset and wants to speak normal.

Henry Piggins overhears her when he comes. And consults her sing a song to repair her Accent. But Rosita is so hopeless that she has decided to never speak. Big Bird has some attempts to provide her speaking, but all of them useless, she does not speak again. Oscar the Grouch has some complimans to her and finally she starts to speak. I think Oscar the Grouch can boast of himself.

Two children returns and this time they like Rosita’s speaking, because she speaks Spanish, and says the Word paloma which means pigeon in English. The stories of Sesame Street characters are coming to an end.
