The Class Votes – At school, Daniel and his classmates get to choose their new class pet! Teacher Harriet explains that they can either get a bunny or a turtle.

With a little help from his friends, O discovers how much fun it is to pretend!

Safety Patrol – Today at school, the children are learning about traffic signs. Prince Tuesday comes for a special visit, wearing his crossing guard uniform. He takes the class on a walk through the Neighbourhood and they practice their safety rules all along the way.

 

Keira and Ave have really been enjoying watching the Daniel Goes to School DVD – especially Ava who loves to dance to the theme music and gets angry when all the episodes have played through.  If you haven’t seen Daniel Tiger before, its an adorable animated spin off from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and teaches kids valuable lessons about friendship, emotions and more!  This is a really nice collection of episodes your preschooler will want to watch over and over again.
